CCL: Molecular Dynamics workshop

[Marcela Madrid]

                  PITTSBURGH SUPERCOMPUTING CENTER
                BIOMEDICAL SUPERCOMPUTING INITIATIVE

METHODS AND APPLICATIONS OF MOLECULAR MECHANICS AND DYNAMICS TO MOLECULES
OF BIOLOGICAL INTEREST WORKSHOP; August 7-10, 1996.

Instructors include  Dr. David Case, the Scripps Research Institute,
Thomas Cheatham III, UCSF; Prof. Peter A. Kollman, UCSF, Dr. David A.
Pearlman, Vertex Pharmaceuticals; and Bill Ross, UCSF.

General aspects of molecular mechanics and dynamics theory and software
will be discussed. The program AMBER will be utilized extensively
in demonstrations.

Biomedical Workshops offered by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
typically consist of theoretical lectures taught by leaders in the
respective scientific discipline, and extensive hands-on computer
sessions. During the computer sessions, participants are able to work on
the examples provided or on their own experimental data. Attendance is
limited to 20 participants to allow one-on-one instruction and encourage
scientific interactions and discussions.

Application deadlines are six weeks prior to the workshop. Researchers
nationwide are invited to apply.
