  Overall Project Goals:1.) Targeting complex Protein-Protein interactions through small molecule inhibitors from a computational point of view.2.) Understanding Protein-Ligand Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) for ligand design.3.)Performing Docking and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to better capture the crystal pose of Protein-Ligand complexes and conformational changes, if any, in the active site, respectively.4.) Preliminary Bioinformatics analysis of the protein families, like structure and sequence similarity and mutagenesis studies, to get a better understanding of the protein of interest and its active site.5.) Virtual Screening (VS) of compounds present in chemical libraries after careful curation of the library databases on different targets of interest Show less
