- Note: Can be used as a CHEM 430 credit.
The objective of this course is to introduce the basic principles and concepts in computational molecular modeling and provide hands-on training to the students on different modeling techniques. Students will learn how these techniques are applied in real-time applications of drug design and protein engineering. Theoretical lectures will be followed by practical sessions in the computer lab, where students can apply the skills gained from the course.
Specific topics will include: introduction to biomolecular structures and interactions, programming basics for biochemists, molecular modeling of proteins, molecular visualization techniques, molecular docking and introduction to classical molecular dynamics simulations and analysis.
