In this workshop, Python scripting is used to explore and compare small molecules that bind to the SARS-CoV2 main protease. A Google CoLab environment is used along with a number of libraries that are heavily accessed for cheminformatics.

At the completion of this workshop, users will be able to:

  • Search BindingDB and create molecular datasets.
  • Use RDKit to manipulate and process molecules.
  • Compare features of families of small molecules using plots and fingerprint analysis
  • Create a workflow for docking multiple ligands to the main protease

The workshop is intended for:

  • Undergraduate students in any STEM discipline
  • Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in life sciences and data collection
  • Faculty members who want to incorporate Python scripting into their teaching or research
  • Professionals involved in collecting and analyzing data, particularly big data
