GENERAL INFORMATION: AMS-536 is designed for students who wish to gain hands-on experience modeling biological molecules at the atomic level. In conjunction with the participants' interest, Molecular Mechanics, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, Docking (virtual screening), or Quantum Mechanics software packages will be used. Projects will include setup, execution, and analysis. Students will work on individual projects outside of class. Course participants will give presentations relevant to the simulations being performed and a final project report will be required. Familiarity with working in a Unix (Linux) environment is desirable.
