"Hands-on" Workshop on Enhanced Sampling and Free-Energy Calculation at Urbana, IL
We are pleased to invite you for the second edition of the "Hands-On" Computational Biophysics Workshop series dedicated to Enhanced Sampling and Free-Energy Calculation. The workshop is organized by the NIH Center for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and will be held at the Beckman Institute, in Urbana - IL, from 10-14 of September 2018.
This workshop will be presented by members of the NIH Center, and by invited global leaders and developers of the methods and techniques covered. Topics will include instructions in state-of-the-art molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, enhanced sampling techniques and free-energy calculations using NAMD. To prepare and analyze the simulations, participants will be using the molecular visualizer 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 to 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.
Enrollment is limited to 25 participants.
