Dr. Kent Stewart will visit Maryland Hall Room 110 on February 14th, 2024 at 3pm<\/strong> to present his findings on molecular interactions.<\/p>\n

Molecular Interactions: A Drug Designer\u2019s Perspective<\/span><\/h6>\n

After receiving early training in organic chemistry and biochemistry, Dr. Stewart worked for most of his career in the pharmaceutical industry (mainly at Abbott in Chicago) at the front-line of designing organic compounds for a variety of medical uses.\u00a0 His expertise is computer-aided drug design.\u00a0 He currently is giving back to the next generation of medical professionals by serving as faculty and interim chair of the Department of Basic Pharmaceutical Science in the Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy, at High Point University in North Carolina.\u00a0 In this presentation, Dr. Stewart will summarize the kinds of intermolecular interactions that occur between drug and receptor: hydrophobic, H-bond, electrostatic, pi-stack, cation-pi, halogen bonds, metal interactions, etc.\u00a0 Importantly, a sense of the quantitative magnitude of what researchers should expect will be presented and illustrated with specific cases of drug design.\u00a0 While the bulk of the presentation will deal with protein-based receptors, extension to membranes and other assemblies will be included where possible.\u00a0 The seminar will serve as a teaching review of intermolecular forces of which all researchers should be aware.\u00a0 Students at JHU will be interested to know that Dr. Stewart was a lab partner of Professor Howard Katz at a time long ago in a land far away, illustrating that professional connections made now can be important for decades to come.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
