Abstract:
The computationally demanding nature and lack of generality of free energy methods are the main barriers to their common place use in rational drug design. This study investigates the possibility of producing protocols to accurately calculate the binding free energy of protein-ligand complexes more efficiently than presently established methods, using large scale distributed computing. There has been an explosion of useful nonequilibrium work methods recently, mainly due to the discovery of the Jarzynski equilibrium [Jarzynski(1997b)]. After an indepth investigation of these methods a subset,

Abstract:
Master of Public Health - MPH<br>Background: Drugs are essential components of the health system and their rational use is vital to delivering quality and efficient healthcare services. However, inappropriate prescribing is a common rational drug use problem globally, particularly in developing countries including Nigeria. Despite measures to address this problem, inappropriate drug use continues to be a major public health problem in Nigeria. Aim: This study assessed rational drug use (RDU), with a focus on rational prescribing and factors affecting it, among primary healthcare providers wor

Abstract:
Malaria poses the greatest threat of all parasites to human life. Current vaccines and efficacious drugs are available however their use is limited due to toxicity, emergence of drug resistance, and cost. The discovery of an alternative pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis, the non-mevalonate pathway, within the malarial parasite has resulted in development of novel anti-malarial drugs. 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate (DOXP) reductoisomerase, the second enzyme in this pathway, is responsible for the synthesis of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) in an intramolecular rearrangement step fol
