Exploration of the Application of Information Technology in Chemical Biology Teaching:Taking the ChEMBL Database as an Example
Chemical biology,as an emerging interdisciplinary field,requires the introduction of advanced information science content in teaching.Chemical biology teaching in colleges and universities often involves the introduction of a large number of compounds and drugs.We try to introduce the content of ChEMBL database in chemical biology course.ChEMBL is an open data database containing binding,functional and ADMET information for a large number of drug-like bioactive compounds.These data are regularly extracted from literature and then standardized to maximize their utility in chemical biology and drug discovery research.In our course,ChEMBL resources were introduced into the undergraduate teaching of chemical biology.Students can use the network data to analyze the drug molecules,achieving good teaching results.
