This course covers an introduction into the molecular dynamics engine GROMACS, including fundamental commands and applications. Over multiple days, the participants will learn how to prepare and run simulations of biomolecular systems (e.g. including membranes and proteins) at an atomistic and coarse-grained level of resolution. Post-processing and analysis of simulation trajectories are a large part of the tutorial.
The course is usually embedded in the Bachelor programs of Biology and Integrated Life Sciences. There are five places available for participants from the NHR alliance. The course will be held in person and takes place in the CIP of the Biology Department.
Interested candidates should send a short note about their background and motivation to rainer.boeckmann@fau.de.
