Brief description Force Fields for Structure Refinement and Computational Drug Design. The ability to model molecular systems at an atomic level, as used in protein structure refinement or computational drug design, is critically dependent on the accuracy with which inter-atomic interactions are represented. Highly optimised and well-validated interaction parameters are available for common biomolecules, such as amino acids, sugars and lipids, but not for co-factors, substrates and potential drug molecules, or other molecules of interest such as polymers and dendrimers. The aim of this project is to develop and validate geometric and interaction parameters (force fields) for complex organic molecules and use these to facilitate bio-molecular structure refinement and computational drug design.
