The aim of the course is to introduce basic principles and methods of molecular informatics and cheminformatics which deal with computational analysis of relationships between small organic molecules and biomolecules. Students will also be acquainted with concepts of a related field of a computational drug design. Topics include e. g. molecular similarity, design of chemical libraries, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), virtual screening or prediction of pharmacokinetic and toxicologic properties of compounds.
