Dana Vanderwall on Cheminformatics at Drexel

submitted by: jcbradley
Dana Vanderwall, Associate Director of Cheminformatics at Bristol-Myers Squibb, presented at Drexel University for Jean-Claude Bradley's Chemical Information Retrieval class on December 2, 2010. The first part covers "Cheminformatics & The evolving relationship between data in the public domain & pharma" and includes a general discussion of modern drug discovery and the details of a malaria dataset recently released from the pharmaceutical industry to the public. The second part...

Simulation studies of spherical nanoparticles in mesogenic media

submitted by: icamvid
Matt Glaser, University of Colorado at Boulder Abstract: We describe results from simulations of spherical nanoparticles in a nematogenic solvent consisting of soft spherocylinders. We find that nanoparticles remain well dispersed in the isotropic (low-density) phase of the solvent, but demix into a nanoparticle-poor nematic phase and a nanoparticle-rich isotropic phase at higher pressures. When the nanoparticle-spherocylinder interactions are modified to promote homeotropic anchoring, the...

Molecular dynamics simulation of liquid crystalline polymers: what can be achieved?

submitted by: icamvid
Jaroslav Ilnytskyi, Institute for Condensed Matter Physics Abstract: Polymeric liquid crystals combine the features of both the polymer and liquid crystal. Their fine-tuning is possible on the stage of synthesis which leads to a number of practical applications (high strength plastics, displays, optical data storage). We present some recent results in molecular dynamics simulations of such systems. Liquid crystalline dendrimer is studied in isotropic, nematic and smectic A solvent and we...

Molecular Representation, Similarity and Search

submitted by: jcbradley
Rajarshi Guha presents at the final fall 09 Chemical Information Retrieval class at Drexel University on December 3, 2009. The audio for the first 45 seconds is a little off but the rest is fine. Implicit and explicit molecular representations in 1D, 2D and 3D formats are introduced. Approaches to quantifying molecular similarity using fingerprinting are discussed, such as the Tanimoto index. The relevance of these methods to drug design in terms of virtual screening and QSAR is explored....
