The tuition pattern below provides details of the types of classes and their duration. This is to be used as a guide only. For more precise information please check your unit outline.
Lecture:	1 x 1 Hours Weekly
Tutorial:	1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Syllabus:	The molecular modelling of biological molecules and its application to drug discovery and development. Including reviews of molecular forces and macromolecular structure, particularly as they pertain to proteins, and of the common methods used to elucidate the structure of macromolecules. Introduction to common protein structure databases and to the use of basic molecular modelling programs such as RasMol and Deepview to explore macromolecular structures. Students write protein data bank and script filesand develop concepts of molecular modelling, including molecular dynamics and molecular mechanics. The application of molecular modelling to the drug discovery process is demonstrated using the latest computer-aided technologies. Parts of the syllabus may be changed, without notice, to keep up-to-date with a constantly changing, and rapidly developing, subject.
