This symposium aims to showcase how advanced computing can be used to understand GPCR structure and function and so the development of novel drugs. GPCRs play diverse roles in biological processes and are linked to a wide range of disease areas. As our understanding of GPCRs increases through use of techniques such as X-ray crystallography and molecular dynamics simulations, the complexity of the drug development process also increases. A major thrust of the symposium is to explain these techniques in a user-friendly manner such that they can be considered as a realistic option for today’s experimental pharmacologist.
