    Application of a novel in silico high throughput screen to identify selective inhibitors for protein–protein interactions

    Increasing numbers of target protein structures available for computational studies makes the structure-based screening paradigm more attractive for initial hit indentification. We have developed a novel in silico screening methodology incorporating Molecular Mechanics (MM)/implicit solvent methods to evaluate binding free energies and applied this technology...

    Drug Discovery: identifying potential therapeutics that inhibit opioids-induced glial cell activation

    Pain remains a significant public health issue with two-thirds of patients achieving little to no pain relief from the myriad of currently available pharmacotherapies and dosing regimens. The use of opioid (e.g. morphine) pharmacotherapies produces several rewarding and reinforcing side effects, which result in the...
