Large Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Biomolecules using Desmond [Computational Biology]
This one–day workshop is intended to teach researchers how to use the Desmond package for conducting molecular dynamics simulations of biological molecules. Attendees will learn the basic concepts underlying Desmond, how to run simulations and analyze results. Topics to be covered include preparing structure files, setting system constraints, specifying force fields and post simulation analysis. A hands-on lab session will provide an opportunity to work with Desmond on TACC systems.
The class is geared towards life science researchers but will also be of interest to anyone wanting to investigate the molecular motion of molecules using computer simulation techniques. A broad familiarity with the concepts of molecular dynamics simulations and a working knowledge of Unix is recommended.
