Comments
I really enjoyed this unit, bar it's often dry content. David M was quite entertaining, whereas David C tried to be relatable to us younguns. The last few complabs were really fun, and the lab demonstrators were quite helpful. +100 points to Gryfindor for the beautiful lecture notes from David C and funny tangents from David M. :D

This unit will not run ever again, however I believe it'll be merged with PSC3142 to form a new computational drug design unit for the new degree format (2019+)
