Courses - 7th Meeting on Molecular Simulations

December 7th (Hotel NH)

Introductory courses on molecular simulation methods will be given IN SPANISH.

SCHEDULE

10:00 – 14:00 TITLE: Protein-ligand simulations. INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Cesar Millán Pacheco
INSTITUTION: Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Morelos
CONTACT: cmp@uaem.mx CONTENTS: DOWNLOAD
Goal: The purpose of the course is to enable attendees to build a protein-ligand system to be
simulated by molecular dynamics.The initial system will be set up from both the free ligand and protein. The formation of the
complex will be reached with Docking methodology.

If We have enough time, the free energy of solvation of the complex and its components will be
determined.

It is desirable that people attending this course have a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

The course is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, physics, engineerings and biology. Theoretical and experimental researchers are welcome.

The students have to bring their own laptop with a UNIX-compatible operating system (such as GNU/Linux or Mac OS X).
