Computational simulations in medicinal Chemistry: from emergency to permanence
Keywords:
medicinal chemistry, computational simulations, virtuality, covid-19Abstract
Medicinal Chemistry is a discipline that integrates the curriculum of the Pharmacy career, in which several branches of Chemistry and pharmacology converge and which is currently taught in the last year of the career. This year the dictation began in the traditional way, and after two weeks a mandatory quarantine was decreed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This fact motivated the implementation of profound changes to continue with the dictation in virtual mode, highlighting the incorporation of computer simulations for the development of the practical work. In this work we will describe the implemented actions, the projected modifcations and the reflections that arise in this context.
