KNAUER ASI
Introducing Eurocel and Europak - KNAUER's New Cellulose and Amylose-Based Chiral Stationary Phases in 3 - 20 µm Particle Sizes
Instructor(s): TBD
Date: Tuesday, August 21, 3:30 - 6:00 PM
Room: BCEC, room 103
>> Click here to register for this workshop
Chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on derivatized amylose are widely used in normal phase mode enantioseparations with hexane/ethanol or hexane/isopropanol eluents. The versatility of the amylose derivatized Europak 01 CSP with different eluents was demonstrated by carrying out HPLC separations of different enantiomer types. Chiral separations in RP mode as well as in normal phase mode were successfully performed on the same Europak 01 column, demonstrating the eluent flexibility of this amylose phase. Chromatographic separation results indicated < 1 % variation in retention time without any effect on the separation factor. Very short equilibration times in the range of 0.5 h were observed with Europak 01, indicating a significant time savings in regards to solvent equilibration.

New Solutions for Receptor-Flexible Docking and vHTS
Instructor(s): Dr. Dipesh Risal
Date: Wednesday, August 22, 12:00 - 2:30 PM
Room: BCEC, room 102A
>> Click here to register for this workshop
Experimental evidence shows that protein structures adopt varying conformations when different ligands are bound to it. Virtual high-throughput screening generally employs a single receptor structure with a wide variety of ligands. However, protein flexibility may play a vital role in the mechanism of ligand docking. We have developed an automated method for docking ligands where ligand flexibility and protein side chain flexibility are both taken into account. The ongoing validation of the methodology is aimed at answering questions about the correct identification of flexible residues and the accuracy of both side chain placement and ligand docking. Results of ligand docking with several protein systems have been obtained and investigated. The method can be easily extended to consider loop conformation changes as well. We will also present a fast rigid-docking method that performs extremely well against publicly available test cases.

Newest developments will be described that allow for combining scanning probe microscopies (SPM), including AFM, NSOM, etc. with Raman spectroscopy. Nanonics' SPM systems with their open architecture and their patented no-Raman-background cantilevered probes give online AFM topographical mapping with simultaneous spectroscopic data. Surface enhanced techniques (SERS, TERS) are made possible by the use of such unique probes achieving several orders of magnitude Raman signal enhancement. Significant resolution improvements are also achieved through AFM autofocus. Nanoscale manipulation concomitant with spectroscopic mapping will also be discussed.

eHiTS LASSO is a ligand based screening tool that uses the chemical features on 3D ligand surfaces to create fingerprints for rapid screening of large databases. eHiTS is an accurate fragment-based docking program for both virtual screening and binding pose prediction of ligands. CheVi is an advanced 3D visualization package specifically designed to help users analyze how ligands interact with receptors. In addition, CheVi acts as a front-end GUI to run eHiTS LASSO and eHiTS screening / docking jobs. Participants will get a hands on experience on how to use all these tools efficiently.
