Outline What is the drug resistance? Example of Drug Resistance Mutations. Prediction of drug resistant mutations. –The Needs –Methods Structure based Sequence based –Statistical learning methods –Simple rules

CZ5225 Methods in Computational Biology What is the drug resistance? Organisms are said to be drug-resistant when drugs meant to neutralize them have reduced effect or even no effect. Main cause of drug fail during the treatment of infectious disease, cancers (chemotherapy) Main cause of the drug resistance: –Mutation in drug-interacting disease proteins(genetic resistance) –Development of alternative disease related pathway
