Introduction to Protein Modeling and Simulation

Graduate

The foundational tools and principles of computational protein modeling are introduced through lectures and hands-on projects. Intended to provide graduate or advanced undergraduate students with everything they need to informedly engage with the science and practice of protein modeling. Topics in finding, building, and interpreting protein structures from experiment and computational prediction; basics of structural biology and computational protein engineering; molecular dynamics simulations and analysis; enhanced sampling and rare events. Term project related to students’ research interests.
