Rational planning of biologically-active small molecules
The organic chemistry department uses computational methods such as ab-initio quantum-mechanical calculations, which are routinely employed for elucidation of reaction mechanisms, development of novel synthetic pathways, as well as for structure-activity relationship studies, and in order to obtain a well-defined prioritized list of molecules as synthetic goals.
