Program overview
The course will cover state-of-the art methods for simulation of biological
macromolecules (among others: force fields, molecular dynamics, Brownian
dynamics, normal modes, free energy calculations, electrostatic calculations,
modelling).
Every subject will be introduced by lectures (2h each day). The remainder
of the day will be devoted to practical work.
