AMS 536, Introduction to Computational Structural Biology and Drug Design
This course is designed for students who wish to gain hands on experience modeling biological molecules at the atomic level. In conjunction with individual interests, Molecular Mechanics, Molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, Docking (virtual screening), or Quantum Mechanics software packages can be used to study relevant biological systems(s). Projects will include setup, execution, and analysis. Course participants will give literature presentations relevant to the simulations being performed and a final project report will be required. Familiarity with Unix (Linux) is desirable.
Prerequisite: AMS 535 or permission of the instructor
3 credits, ABCF grading
