Let’s Talk About … Functional Groups and Bioisosteres (Workshop)

‘Let’s Talk About …’ is a new BioSolveIT workshop series focused on the fundamentals of medicinal chemistry and computer-aided drug discovery. Designed for beginners, intermediates, and experts alike, it delves into the building blocks of modern small molecule design and places these individual perspectives into a broader context.

In our first workshop, we will focus on the small gears of bioactive compounds: functional groups and their bioisosteres.

We will discuss the most commonly used functionalities in medicinal chemistry, exploring their properties and three-dimensional geometry, both of which play a key role in assessing protein-ligand complexes. Additionally, we will examine functional alternatives (bioisosteres) for these groups and what to keep in mind when exploiting them.

You can also download the slides following this link.

Participants can request a certificate of attendance upon successful completion of this workshop.
