Brief description:

This workshop will be presented by members of the NIH Center for
Macromolecular Modeling & Bioinformatics at Urbana-Champaign. Topics will
cover instruction in state-of-the-art molecular dynamics simulation and
free energy techniques using NAMD <https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/>,
bacterial cells simulation with Lattice Microbes
<http://www.scs.illinois.edu/schulten/lm/> (LM) and biomolecular
visualization and analysis with VMD
<https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/>. Morning lecture presentations
will introduce fundamental theory and concepts, while afternoon hands-on
computer laboratory sessions will allow participants to apply NAMD, LM and
VMD directly in a series of guided tutorials. The workshop is designed for
all students and researchers in computational and/or biophysical fields who
seek to extend their expertise to include biomolecular simulations.
Experimentalists and non-specialists are encouraged to attend and will
benefit particularly from instruction in the use of QwikMD
<https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/qwikmd/>, a new teaching software
incorporating NAMD and VMD that significantly lowers the learning curve for
novice users.
