Tantillo, Dean J.; Siegel, Justin B.; Saunders, Carla M.; Palazzo, Teresa A.; Painter, Phillip P.; O'Brien, Terrence E.; Nuñez, Nicole N.; Nouri, Dustin H.; Lodewyk, Michael W.; Hudson, Brandi M.; Hare, Stephanie R.; Davis, Rebecca L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A series of computational laboratory experiments aimed at teaching students principles of rational drug design are described and evaluated. These experiments range from an introduction to viewing protein-ligand complexes to optimizing geometries of potential drugs with quantum chemistry and automated docking. Student feedback indicates that such a…

Hoyer, Chad E.; Kegerreis, Jeb S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2013
The essentials of Monte Carlo integration are presented for use in an upper-level physical chemistry setting. A Mathcad document that aids in the dissemination and utilization of this information is described and is available in the Supporting Information. A brief outline of Monte Carlo integration is given, along with ideas and pedagogy for…
