Fourth- and fifth-year pharmacy students attending integrated pharmacotherapy courses at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University completed a medicinal chemistry assignment using computer-based technology. This written assignment encompassed multiple components requiring the use of free online resources to study and illustrate several stages of…

Computational chemistry instructional activities are often based around students running chemical simulations via a graphical user interface (GUI). GUI-based activities offer many advantages, as they enable students to run chemical simulations with a few mouse clicks. Although these activities are excellent for introducing students to the…

The increasing use of information technology in the discovery of new molecular entities encourages the use of modern molecular-modeling tools to help teach important concepts of drug design to chemistry and pharmacy undergraduate students. In particular, statistical models such as quantitative structure--activity relationships (QSAR)--often as its…

A novel technology that employs computer vision (CV) to carry out an automatic titration experiment is presented. The experiment is designed to facilitate understanding of the basics of the CV technology and its application in chemistry among undergraduate students. The standard chemical procedure of titration has been chosen, since it is…
