National Centre for Biomolecular Research – Faculty of Science - Prerequisites
- Basic level of general and physical chemistry. A basic knowledge in quantum chemistry is an advantage.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 30 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/30, only registered: 0/30, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/30 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 11 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- The course is oriented to obtaining practical skills in using chemical modeling software. Students will learn how the molecular geometry is represented in a computer and how energy is calculated. At the end, students will learn how to use one of the commonly used modeling software packages.
- Syllabus
- 1. Experiment versus molecular modeling (introduction, validation and prediction, overview of experimental single molecule methods)
- 2. Quantum Mechanics (introduction, Born-Oppenheimer approximation, potential energy surface concept, brief overview of methods and software packages)
- 3. Potential Energy Hypersurface (meaning, optimization methods, searching of local and global minimums and transition states, calculation of thermodynamic properties)
- 4. Molecular Mechanics (force fields, long range interactions, solvent modeling, periodic boundary conditions, overview of force fields)
- 5. Molecular Dynamics (time evolution of system, equations of motion, maintaining temperature and pressure, system properties, brief overview of software)
- 6. Special Methods (Monte Carlo simulations, coarse-grain models)
