The winter school will include lectures and hands-on sessions on the following topics:

• Molecular Dynamics simulations
• Biomolecular Docking
• Free energy calculations
• Advanced sampling methods (Metadynamics)
• BioExcel Building Blocks (BioBB)

During the hands-on computer practicals you will make use of the BioExcel flagship software and tools: e.g. GROMACS, HADDOCK, PMX, BioBB. The trainers, developers and/or experts in the use of the software, will provide guidance and support.

Audience and Prerequisites

The winter school is intended for researchers (primarily PhD and post-docs) using or planning to use biomolecular modeling and simulation in their everyday research. Familiarity with Linux and basic knowledge of molecular modelling software is a requirement.
