What's happening in Iran and how you can help (1/n): Many of you have heard about the current turmoil and protests in Iran that's been going on for more than 20 days now. Yet, there are still many disinformations and unknowns. I hope this brief description helps!

Very sad news: Professor Robert (Bob) West at UW Madision passed away on October 12th, 2022 at the age of 94. He ascended summits of chemistry (isolable Si=Si compounds), humanity (e.g., woman's rights) and mountains (50 first accents). We miss you, Bob!!

Lecture 3 of the MedChem Course coming up on Thursday. It'll be a smorgasbord of molecular interactions. Pi-Pi (stacking) interactions will be of course part of it. Here's a little historical perspective to highlight that Hunter's original model is no longer valid.

Here's the slide that took me 6 months to make. The six classes of molecular interactions for drug design. Clearly H-bonds are the first thing to master as a drug designer followed by pi-pi and sigma-sigma interactions.
