Watch: Python For Cheminformatics-Driven Molecular Docking

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

Questions? Please contact info@rcsb.org.

Participants may also be interested in recordings of past training events, including Python Scripting for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Part 1 and Part 2, and the 2024 course, Python Scripting for Molecular Docking.
