Training

An introduction to the chemical biology resources available from the EBI. The workshop will cover ontology and bio-activity data, structure representation and tools for protein-ligand investigation.

Audience

The workshop is aimed at PhD, post-doctoral researchers and principle investigators working in biology/pharmacology. It will be of use to participants who are looking for a basic introduction to chemical biology resources from the EBI.

Learning Objectives

After this course you should be able to...

· Learn how to search for small molecules and understand their chemical ontology and associated bioactivity data

· Learn about structure representation and search algorithms

· Understand how to extract bioactivity data to construct potential structure-activity relationships

Learn how to assess protein-ligand interactions and analyse binding sites to identify features important to ligand binding.
