The 8th NCCR Practical Course will cover
key topics in the area of computational structural biology. The
course format includes morning lectures by experts in the field
that alternate with later afternoon to evening tutorials and discussions.
The course will be organized as a winter
retreat in the Swiss alps offering participants the opportunity
to learn in a stimulating atmosphere, enjoy winter activities in
the swiss alps during course breaks, and network and exchange ideas
on an informal basis with fellow participants, tutors, and lecturers.
At the end of this course, participants will obtain an overview
of issues important to biomolecular modelling and get a feeling
for biomolecular simulation, what can be done and what cannot be
done.
Topics include
Simulation techniques | force-field
development | conformational search
| computation of free energy and entropy
| treatment of electrostatic forces
| simulation of folding |
comparison of simulation with experiment
