This workshop will explore physical models and computational approaches used for the simulation of biological systems and the investigation of their
function at an atomic level. Topics covered include:
- using the biophysics software VMD and NAMD;
- applications of VMD and NAMD in modern research;
- force fields and parameterizing new molecules;
- simulating membrane proteins and ion channels;
- modeling nucleic acid systems;
- computational nano-bio;
- free energy calculations.
Lectures in the morning will by followed by hands-on tutorials.
