QSAR-3D as an abstraction tool in the education of medical chemistry
Keywords:
Medicinal Chemistry, QSAR-3D, GraphicsAbstract
This work seeks to analyze the benefits and difficulties of implementing QSAR-3D in the teaching of medicinal chemistry. The theoretical context of both the QSAR-3D method and the pedagogical bases that underlie this educational intervention will be discussed. The most important axes are the current limitations in the students' capacity for abstraction and the new technologies that make it possible to propose a novel approach in an area of great relevance in medicinal chemistry. In particular, the feasibility of conducting a computational experiment remotely is evaluated. Connections with other chemistry sub-disciplines are also revealed to highlight their value as cross-sectional content
