Prerequisites:
You need to have a laptop with a Mac, Linux or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc) on which you have administrative privileges, as you will need to pre-load specific software packages.

This hands-on workshop is intended for students with no prior knowledge of molecular dynamics. Students will be guided to using various structure prediction software to model missing protein and RNA segments, AMBER and NAMD software for performing simulations of bio-molecular systems, VMD for visualizing trajectories and manipulating PDB files, and Python for analyzing and plotting simulation data. The workshop will be conducted in four two hour long hands-on sessions over two weeks.

This workshop will take place on:

Molecular Dynamics Basics – Tuesday, April 6th – 1:30-3:30pm (Atlantic time)

Visual Molecular Dynamics – Tuesday, April 13th – 1:30-3:30pm

Building Complex Simulation Systems – Tuesday, April 20th – 1:30-3:30pm

MD Simulation and Analysis .- Tuesday, April 27th – 1:30-3:30pm
