Audrey G. Fikes; Melissa C. Srougi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The application of chemistry concepts in biological settings plays an important role in the interdisciplinary field of drug discovery and development. This is true for molecular docking, where an understanding of intermolecular forces and noncovalent interactions is useful for rational drug design and development. Here we report the design and use…

Noam Morningstar-Kywi; Denise N. Morris; Rebecca M. Romero; Ian S. Haworth – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling requires an understanding of chemical, physiologic, and pharmacokinetic principles. Active learning with PBPK modeling software (GastroPlus) may be useful to teach these scientific principles while also teaching software operation. To examine this issue, a graduate-level course was designed…

Toscanini, MariaA.; Recoulat Angelini, Alvaro A.; Troncoso, Maria F.; Curto, Lucrecia M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Understanding the relationship between protein structure and function can be challenging for students. Molecular visualization software aids students in this problem by allowing manipulation of structures from new and deeper perspectives. In this communication, an activity using iMolview Lite, structure visualization software for portable devices,…

Brandon Thrope; Alan Rogerio Ferreira Lima; Alexandre Henrique Pinto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Recently there is an increasing need for experiments that can be conducted remotely. In this sense, this paper presents three experiments about materials science and an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique that can be taught and performed entirely remotely. The first experiment is about the calculation of lattice parameters, atomic radii, and…

Timothy Rosencrans; Ryan Jones; Daniel Griffin; India Loyd; Anna Grady; Mary Moon; Frederick Miller – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Medical students face challenging but important topics they must learn in short periods of time, such as autonomic pharmacology. Autonomic pharmacology is difficult in that it requires students to synthesize detailed anatomy, physiology, clinical reasoning, and pharmacology. The subject poses a challenge to learn as it is often introduced early in…

Clent, Bethanie A.; Wang, Yuhang; Britton, Hugh C.; Otto, Frank; Swain, Christopher J.; Todd, Matthew H.; Wilden, Jonathan D.; Tabor, Alethea B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In response to the closure of many university laboratories due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a handbook and remote webinar approach designed to support students in the use of software tools for computer-aided drug design has been developed. Specifically, the course has been designed for chemistry and pharmacy students who have little or no…
