Japanese Lantern Protein
(Marcos Sotomayor, et al. Biophys. J., 87: 3050-3065, 2004)
The 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. The course will be based on case studies including the
properties of membranes and membrane proteins, mechanisms of molecular
motors, trafficking in the living cell through water and ion channels,
and signaling pathways. Relevant physical concepts, mathematical
techniques, and computational methods will be introduced, including
force fields and algorithms used in molecular modeling, molecular
dynamics simulations on parallel computers and steered molecular
dynamics simulations.
The workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral
researchers in computational and/or biophysical fields who seek to
extend their research skills to include computational and theoretical
expertise, as well as other researchers interested in theoretical and
computational biophysics. Theory sessions in the morning will be
followed by hands-on computer labs in the afternoon in which students
will be able to set up and run simulations. Enrollment limited to 20
participants.
