Abstract

We will review recent applications of molecular dynamics to protein and nucleic acid systems, focusing on protein folding, enzyme catalysis and ligand binding. The use of molecular dynamics simulations along with continuum solvation methods is allowing one to calculate both structure and free energies for many interesting processes and is increasing the applicability of molecular dynamics simulation methodology significantly.

Tea and coffee will be served in R3151 Beckman Institute at 2:15pm.
