Modelling Molecules

Synopsis: 1: Looks a the use of molecular modelling in the search for a drug to combat flu: the problem of flu infection, the action of sialidase; laboratory processes for isolating and identifying the structure of sialidase; use of computer modelling to show holes in the active site; use of grid computations to show what drugs researchers developed.
2: Looks at future of force feedback systems in the academic and commercial worlds; these allow the molecular modeller to ‘feel’ forces of repulsion and attraction between molecules: the existence of force feedback systems; UNC force feedback work on Argonnne Arm and Sarcos Arm; EXOS commercial developments in force feedback; virtual reality and other visualisation developments.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
