This contributed volume focuses on computational methods and strategies employed in drug design, specifically targeting protein-protein interactions (PPIs). It provides a comprehensive overview of the basic principles of PPIs, computational techniques for predicting binding sites and complexes, and recent advancements in the field. The book features chapters authored by experts, with a strong emphasis on practical applications in drug discovery. Additionally, it highlights the challenges associated with designing PPI inhibitors and the emerging tools and methodologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to address them. Overall, the book serves as a valuable resource for scientists and researchers interested in leveraging computational and structural biology approaches for designing drugs targeting PPIs.

About the Author

Dr. Seetharama D. Jois, Ph.D., is a Professor of Cancer Immunology and Computation & Structural Biology, Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine at Louisiana State University. Before this, he worked as a professor of Medicinal Chemistry in the School of Basic Pharmaceutical and Toxicological Sciences, College of Pharmacy, University of Louisiana at Monroe for 17 years. Before joining the University of Louisiana at Monroe in 2006, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the School of Pharmacy at the National University of Singapore for six years. Dr. Jois obtained his Ph.D. in 1994 from the Molecular Biophysics Unit, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India, and a master’s degree in physics from the University of Mysore, India. After his Ph.D., Dr. Jois obtained extensive training in Pharmaceutical Chemistry research at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS. His research philosophy is to investigate life processes at a molecular level and use fundamental and applied research to improve human health. His research focuses on drug design and discovery, particularly cancer and inflammatory diseases. He is interested in how proteins interact with one another to control life processes. Proteins interact with each other in a highly specific manner, and these specific interactions play key roles in many cellular processes. In normal life processes, these protein interactions are well coordinated to perform the functions of the cells. Any deregulation of this process can lead to the development of many diseases. His research group is interested in developing peptides/peptidomimetics to modulate protein-protein interactions (PPI), and such molecules are useful as therapeutic agents. He uses computational as well as experimental methods to investigate the PPI and its inhibition. His three major research projects are related to cell surface proteins and targeting these proteins using peptides, peptidomimetics, and grafted peptides. Dr. Jois’ current research is on EGFR-related non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and HER2-positive breast cancer. His collaborative research includes developing an imaging agent for EGFR-related colorectal cancer. Dr. Jois is supported by funding from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed papers.

Mr. Prajesh Shrestha is a graduate student in the Department of Pathobiological Sciences at the School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Pharmacy from Tribhuvan University in Nepal. He began his professional career as a Senior Formulation and Development Officer at Accord Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. in Nepal, where he gained valuable experience in drug formulation and pharmaceutical development. He joined LSU to pursue his Ph.D. under the mentorship of Dr. Seetharama D. Jois. His research focuses on rational design and evaluation of peptides and peptidomimetics targeting critical protein-protein interactions (PPIs), with a particular emphasis on non-small cell lung cancer. His current work involves comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies aimed at inhibiting HER2 dimerization, with the long-term goal of developing next-generation therapeutic peptides that exhibit enhanced stability, selectivity, and oral bioavailability. In addition to his experimental work, he is also well-versed in various computational drug discovery tools that he integrates into his research. In addition to his primary research, he is also actively involved in collaborative projects focused on evaluating targeted diagnostic agents for EGFR-driven colorectal cancers. He has authored several peer-reviewed publications and has presented his work at numerous scientific conferences. He is also an active member of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS).

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
