Information about Strasbourg and the Esplanade Campus

Location


Strasbourg Summer School - Strasbourg, France, 25-29 June 2012

Welcome to Strasbourg !

Its magnificent Cathedral, its fine food, "La Petite France" the typical quarter beloved of the tourists, not to mention the Grande-Ile, a UNESCO World Heritage site, have given it its reputation as a city anchored in History and Tradition.

Located in the "Esplanade" district, the Central Campus is near Strasbourg historical center. Also called "Esplanade Campus", it is the main University of Strasbourg Campus, regrouping University headquarters and many University of Strasbourg elements (including the "Tour de Chimie"), as well as the main part of the research units. Several independant high schools are present as well (Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg and INSA).


Conference Location

The conference will be held in two locations :

These two buildings, both located in the Central Campus, are close to one another with an easy access :


1 : Tour de Chimie (Chemistry Tower)
2 : CDE (European College)
3 : Restaurant Universitaire de l’Esplanade (Esplanade campus canteen)

Tutorials

Organization

Three tutorials will be organized for the participants of the Summer School: (i) QSAR, (ii) pharmacophore models and (iii) docking. They will take place in 3 computer classes at the 4th floor of the Faculty of Chemistry building (1, rue B. Pascal). Each class accommodates up to 25 people. So, all participants will be divided into 3 groups each following its schedule:

  • Group 1: QSAR, pharmacophore+docking 1 (with BiosolveIT and Inte:Ligand tools), pharmacophore+docking 2 (with Schrödinger tools)
  • Group 2: pharmacophore+docking 1 (with BiosolveIT and Inte:Ligand tools), QSAR, pharmacophore+docking 2 (with Schrödinger tools)
  • Group 3: pharmacophore+docking 2 (with Schrödinger tools), pharmacophore+docking 1 (with BiosolveIT and Inte:Ligand tools), QSAR.

Three parallel sessions are scheduled:

  • Session 1: Tuesday 26 June from 14:00 to 16:00;
  • Session 2: Wednesday 27 June from 14:00 to 16:00,
  • Session 3: Wednesday 27 June from 16:30 to 18:30,


Thus each participant is supposed to attend all three tutorials. A briefing resuming the tutorial sessions will be organized on Thursday 27 June in the conference hall in the CDE building.
The participants are encouraged to download the data and software tools for the tutorials and to work on the exercises before the school.

Data

The tutorials focus on the type A2A of human adenosine receptor (A2AR). A2AR is a member of purinergic class of G-Protein Coupled Receptors. It is one of the main targets of caffeine, and also of some drugs used for coronary vasodilation (agonist compounds) or for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (antogonist compounds). The three-dimensional structure of A2AR in complex with the antagonist ZM241385 was solved in 2008 (Science. 2008, 322: 1211–1217). Since then, ten other structures of the receptor were solved in different states of activation and in complex with different ligands.

The tutorials aim at predicting the binding of ligands to A2AR (whatever their function, agonist or antagonist) using three different approaches: QSAR, pharmacophore models and docking.
