You Are Smarter than You Think: Applications of NMR in Hit-to-Lead Discovery

April 27, 2012
11:30 am – 1:00 pm EDT

Symposium Course Description: This course will focus on understanding the type of data that NMR can produce in a small molecule drug discovery environment. Applications of NMR will be given that includes screening of fragments, evaluation of lead compounds, and structure determination of molecules and metabolites. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring that attendees have an understanding of NMR to enable them to become intelligent consumers of NMR data.

Learning Objective Bullet Points:

Application of NMR in Fragment Screening using both target and ligand based methods
Utilization of NMR Data, e.g. epitope mapping, in Hit to Lead efforts
Structure determination of compounds by NMR

Who Should Attend:
Discovery Chemistry, Discovery Biology, and Analytical Chemistry Researchers
