Description: 
This course will provide the practical and theoretical (see the prerequisites!) basis for allowing participants to set up, run and analyse MD simulations of proteins. The course is taught by Christophe Chipot and François Dehez together with Paul Schanda.

3
Semester: 
Spring 1
Minimum number of participants: 
5
Target audience: 
Structural biologists with a strong interest in protein dynamics.
Prerequisites: 
Read the book by Benoit Roux "Computational Modeling And Simulations Of Biomolecular Systems". Install NAMD and VMD and/or make sure to have access to these on the cluster. These things are absolutely essential, and participants will be accepted only if they have thoroughly read the book.
Teaching format: 
The course is set up for a small group and will comprise theoretical presentations and practical elements. For the latter, participants will use software for MD simulations, namely NAMD and VMD.
Assessment form(s): 
Participation, possibly a final exam (under evaluation).
