ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS
This 6-week hands-on program introduces participants to the core concepts and practical steps of molecular docking—a key process in structure-based drug design.
You’ll learn to prepare proteins and ligands, run docking simulations, interpret binding affinities, and validate your results through real-world project workflows.
​
Whether you’re in drug discovery, agricultural research, or molecular biology, this program is designed to help you gain job-ready docking skills with zero guesswork.
​
Too many students and researchers are overwhelmed by complex docking pipelines and scattered online tutorials. This workshop solves that with clear step-by-step instruction, mentorship, and a real-world mini project that positions you for internships, research funding, or biotech roles.
STARTING DATE: OCT - 2026
AGENDA: Recorded Session | Live Q&A for 6 weeks | 3PM GMT | Duration: 2 Hour Per Session
FEE: $40 USD/N50,000

MODULES TO BE COVERED
1
Introduction to Comparative Genomics
Understand the principles of structure-based drug design, virtual screening, and their relevance in biomedicine and agriculture.
2
Protein & Ligand Structure Basics
Learn how to interpret, process, and prepare protein and ligand structures—covering formats like PDB, SDF, MOL, and PDBQT.
3
Online Databases & Resources
Navigate tools like PDB, UniProt, PubChem, SwissADME, and DrugBank to retrieve structural and biochemical data.
4
Protein Preparation
Clean up proteins: remove heteroatoms, add hydrogens and charges, and save in docking-compatible formats using PyRx.
5
Ligand Drawing & Preparation
Draw ligands, perform energy minimization, and prepare 3D conformations using Chem3D or Avogadro for docking.
6
Molecular Docking with PyRx
Set up virtual screening simulations, run docking tasks, and extract binding affinities and docking poses.
7
Visualization & 2D Interaction Mapping
Visualize molecular interactions—hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic pockets—and export 2D interaction maps using PyMOL or Discovery Studio.
8
Validation Techniques
Validate docking results through re-docking and comparison with experimental data or literature-reported scores.
9
ADMET & Drug-Likeness Prediction
Assess pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and bioavailability of ligands using SwissADME, pkCSM, and admetSAR.
11

Before starting the program, I was a bit apprehensive, as I had previously been taken advantage of by some online scam. But now, I consider myself fortunate that I had stumbled upon this organisation. Kudos team genomac hub! I honour your intentions to create a global impact by helping researchers. Looking forward to learning and growth & thank you for sharing the lifetime activation key of geneious software.

Attending Genomac Hub workshop helped me navigate the fundamentals of Bioinformatics. It provides a solid foundation for me to move on in my career. The CEO, Oluwaseyi, is very knowledgeable about the course. He is adept at keeping the class engaged and making everyone understand. I recommend Genomac Hub courses and workshops to anyone in any part of the globe.
