 Dinner Short Course Announcement:
 First Principles in Binding Kinetics:Towards Predicting Structure-Kinetics
 Relationships*
 June 6, 2012 - 6:00-8:00 pm
 Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston, Cambridge, Massachusetts
 Instructors:
 David Swinney, Ph.D., CEO, Institute for Rare and Neglected Diseases Drug
 Discovery (iRND3)
 Xavier Barril, Ph.D., ICREA Research Professor, Physical Chemistry Department,
 University of Barcelona
 This course will address the questions on why should I care about kinetics and
 how can I understand and predict Structure-Kinetics relationships?  We will
 first review the role of binding kinetics in drug action and then focus on the
 particular case of protein-ligand non-covalent complexes, reviewing what is
 known so far about the structural determinants of binding kinetics. This course
 will help you with a better understanding and increased awareness of current
 state of the chemistry and pharmacology of binding kinetics.
 This course is scheduled at the conclusion of Day One of CHI's co- located
 "Structure-Based Drug Design" conference.
