Information for Invited Participants | Survey

Workshop Organizers:

Charles L. Brooks, III, Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of Michigan

David Case, Chemsitry & Chemical Biology, Rutgers University

Description:

This workshop will provide participants with a solid introduction to the theory and methodology behind current methods of molecular simulations in biophysics: force field development, simulation algorithms, analysis techniques and advanced sampling and simulation methods, and structure prediction/refinement (including Go-Models). Participants will be involved in hands-on applications of these principles through tutorials and individual pursuits, conducted with the mentorship of leading researchers in the field of molecular biophysics theory and simulation. The workshop will focus on the implementation of these approaches through the Amber and CHARMM macromolecular simulation programs and the MMTSB Tool Set. This workshop is aimed at graduate students, postdocs and faculty who have a background in quantitative areas of biology as well as physics and chemistry. Participation will be limited to a total of 30 invited researchers.

Presenters:

Jianhan Chen, Biochemistry, Kansas State University

Michael Feig, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Michigan State University

Jana K. Shen, Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of Oklahoma
