The Emerging Role of Cryo-Electron Microscopy in Drug Discovery

Overview

 

No longer a niche technique, single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), provides a prevailing direction to obtain high-resolution structure information on proteins without crystallization.

This webcast looks at the emerging role of cryo-EM in drug discovery and its application to resolve the structure of challenging targets, such as GPCRs. Experts will share their success in cryo-EM enabled structure-based drug design (e.g. structure-based vaccine design) and the strength of combining cryo-EM with computational chemistry.

Brought to you by:

 

Key Learning Objectives

  • How cryo-EM/single particle analysis (SPA) can be used in structure based drug design
  • The current potential of the cryo-EM/SPA technology
  • The value of cryo-EM in lead optimization
  • Potential of cryo-EM in understanding disease mechanisms/mode of action
  • How cryo-EM/SPA is complementary to other structural biology techniques such as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
