• Resumen

  • Fragment-based drug design (FBDD) is a promising methodology to find quality drug leads. It is important in the curriculum of a drug design course due to its impact on drug discovery. However, teaching FBDD and its use by students remain challenging in most cases. A web-based laboratory class to teach FBDD in the form of our copyrighted workshops is described. The students’ feedback and a quantitative evaluation of the results show that the web-based laboratory class is popular with students and facilitates students’ learning of FBDD for design of possible drug-like molecules.
