GENERAL INFORMATION: AMS-535 provides an introduction to the field of computational structure-based drug design. The course aims to foster collaborative learning and will consist of presentations by instructors, course participants, and guest lecturers arranged in five major sections outlined below. Presentations should aim to summarize key papers, theory, and application of computational methods relevant to computational drug design. Grade will be based on class discussion/attendance, oral presentations, and quizzes.
Learning Objectives
- (1) Become informed about the field of computational structure-based drug design and the pros and cons.
- (2) Dissect seminal theory and application papers relevant to computational drug design.
- (3) Gain practice in giving an in-depth oral powerpoint presentation on computational drug design.
- (4) Read, participate in discussion, and be tested across five key subject areas:
- (i) Drug Discovery and Biomolecular Structure:

Online Syllabus Notes
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak this course is being offered online. This is a mixed course meaning that there will be both synchronous and asynchronous aspects. Note that course grading criteria has been modified from previous years (see grading breakdown above). Other details for this semester are as follows:
General Information:
- We will hold class at the regularly scheduled time (M/W 2:40-4:00PM) however this will be done online via ZOOM.
- The first 5 lectures are to help put everyone on an even footing with regards to background material and will be given by the Instructors at the regularly scheduled class time and will be made available on the class website.
- All class correspondence should be addressed to ALL course Instructors.
Discussion Sessions:
- The bulk of the classes will be devoted to Discussion of papers read prior to coming to class (2 per class) for which everyone will also have watched oral presentations prior to coming to class (2 per class). Oral presentations will be in the form of pre-recorded videos made by students taking the class.
- During the Discussion sessions (ZOOM breakout rooms) the Instructors will ask participants to explain details of the papers they have read which will form the basis of the "Discussion" part of their grade. Thus, it is important that everyone attend all of the synchronous classes. All students are expected to participate especially those whose papers are being discussed that day. Breakout room discussion will NOT be recorded.
- If a student is unable to attend an online class they will instead be asked to submit a one page Paper Summary Sheet answering questions about the papers that were discussed on the day that they missed. The "Paper Summary Sheets" will form the basis of the "Discussion" part of their grade for any synchronous classes that were missed.
- If a students misses an online class they will have 24 hours to submit their Paper Summary Sheets. Late Paper Summary Sheets will not be accepted.
Oral Presentations:
- Students will pre-record ZOOM presentations based on papers assigned to them from the schedule shown below.
- Students will email their pre-recorded presentations to ALL course Instructors by Friday at 5PM before the week in which their presentations will be discussed.
- Course participants will watch the student presentations before the class in which they are to be discussed.
- Course participants will score each student presentation using a Presentation Assessment Sheet which will be emailed to ALL Instructors within 24 hours after the class in which the presentation were discussed.
Take home Quizzes:
- At the end of each of the five different sections of the course a take home quiz will be assigned. The "Quiz" portion of the grade will based on the four highest quiz scores attained.
- Although the Quiz format is open book, students are expected to work alone and do their own work. Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. The Instructors are required to report any suspected instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary.
- Students will have 24 hours to completed each Quiz. Late Quizzes will not be accepted.
- Quiz question answers should integrate topics, concepts, and outcomes of the different papers covered for the section being tested.
Recording Your Oral Presentations Using Zoom: It is very straightforward to create a video of yourself giving a PPT presentation using Zoom:
- Download the Zoom app ( https://it.stonybrook.edu/services/zoom )
- Open the Zoom app
- Create a new Zoom meeting with only yourself (make sure audio and video are turned on)
- Share your screen
- Open your paper presentation in PPT and put in presentation mode
- Start recording and give a short test presentation to make sure that everything is working smoothly (use mouse as necessary to highlight specific regions of your slides)
- Stop recording and quit the meeting
- Open the newly created video (using QuickTime or some other video player) to make sure that your test presentation has both audio and video and looks good
- Follow the above steps to create your "full-length" video presentation (videos should not exceed 20-25 minutes)
- Email your video to ALL Instructors who will make it available to the class (please name your Zoom video Lastname_Paper1.mp4 or Lastname_Paper2.mp4 )
Oral Presentation Guidelines: Pre-recorded talks should be formal (as if at a scientific meeting or job talk), presented in PPT format, and be 20-25 minutes long. All talks will be posted on the course website. References should occur at the bottom of each slide when necessary. Presentations should be based mostly on the primary references however secondary references and other sources may be required to make some presentations complete. It is the responsibility of each presenter to email their talk by Friday at 5PM before the week in which their talk is being discussed. Talks will likely be arranged in the following order:
- Introduction/Background (include biological relevance if applicable)
- Specifics of the System or General Problem
- Computational Methods (theory) and Details (system setup) being used
- Results and Discussion (critical interpretation of results and any problems/challenges)
- Conclusions/Future
