Brief description:

This workshop will be presented by members of the NIH Center for
Macromolecular Modeling & Bioinformatics at Urbana-Champaign, and by
invited global leaders and developers of the covered methods. Topics will
cover instructions in state-of-the-art molecular dynamics (MD) simulations,
enhanced sampling techniques and free-energy calculations using NAMD
<https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/>. The simulations will be
prepared and analyzed using the molecular visualizer VMD
<https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/>. Morning lectures will introduce
fundamental theory and concepts, while afternoon hands-on computer
laboratory sessions will allow participants to apply NAMD and VMD directly
in a series of guided tutorials. The workshop is designed for advanced NAMD
users conducting research projects in computational and/or biophysical
fields seeking extend their expertise in MD simulations. It is required
that the participants possess extensive knowledge in preparing and
executing MD simulations in VMD and NAMD.
