Beschreibung: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a method to describe the dynamics of macro-molecules such as proteins, lipids or synthetic polymers. The movement of every atom is calculated on a computer by numerically integrating Newton's equations of motion.
This course aims to introduce the fundamental methods to you. Therefore, you are going to simulate a short polymer chain, a "toy-model" that behaves similarly to a small protein. The steps necessary to set up a simulation system will be performed. Subsequently, you will be introduced to the analysis methods, e. g. the calculation of structural order parameters, interaction energies, and free energy profiles.

Important:

Once participation has become binding after the signing-out period, cancellation is only possible via the GGNB or GAUSS Office with a) sick certificate, or b) statement by supervisor for scientific reasons. If you do not provide this, you will be excluded from courses for the next 12 months, as well as travel grants and other financial support. No exceptions.

By signing up you agree (1) to carefully check whether you will be able to attend the course (do not register for 2 courses taking place on the same dates - the above mentioned sanctions apply!), (2) to frequently check your student e-mail account, as all information on courses will exclusively be sent to that account; (3) that your name and e-mail address may be forwarded to the course instructor(s) for communication before and after the course; (4) to complete the course evaluation; (5) inform us if you no longer wish to maintain a waiting list position; (6) that you only receive credits for attending the entire workshop - you will not get partial credits for part-time attendance.
