Workshop Description:

This workshop will cover Quantum Mechanics (QM), Molecular Mechanics (MM),
and Hybrid QM/MM simulations with NAMD
<https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/>. The participants will have the
opportunity to interact and learn from the developers of the recent QM/MM
<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/qmmm/> suite in NAMD/VMD. For QM
simulations, the packages MOPAC <http://openmopac.net/> and ORCA
<https://orcaforum.cec.mpg.de/>will be employed. The participants will have
the opportunity to use the recent developments in VMD
<https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/> and QwikMD
<https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/qwikmd/>. The molecular calculations
proposed during this workshop will be executed using the computing power
delivered by the Amazon Web Servers
<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/cloud/> cloud
services.

The workshop is designed for advanced MD users conducting research projects
in computational and/or biophysical fields seeking to extend their
expertise in MD and QM/MM simulations.

Enrollment is limited to 25 participants.
