Workshop on "Methods and Applications of Molecular Mechanics and Dynamics to Molecules of Biological Interest"

[DEERFIELD "-at-" B.PSC.EDU]

  TITLE:       METHODS AND APPLICATIONS OF MOLECULAR MECHANICS AND
               DYNAMICS TO MOLECULES OF BIOLOGICAL INTEREST
  INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Peter A. Kollkman (UCSF)
               Dr. David A. Case (Scripps)
               Dr. David A Pearlman (Vertex Pharmaceutical)
               Dr. Thomas Cheatham III (NIH)
               Dr. Carlos L. Simmerling (UCSF)
  SITE:        Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center      DATE:  August 5-8
               Mellon Institute,
               Pittsburgh, PA
  SPONSOR:     Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Biomedical
               Supercomputing Initiative - an NIH Resource Center
  DESCRIPTION: The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center will be hosting a
               workshop on the "Methods and Applications of Molecular
               Mechanics and Dynamics to Molecules of Biological
               Interest." The workshop will familiarize biomedical
               researchers with computational methods and provided
               practice in applying supercomputing resources to
               problems of concern in molecular mechanics. The
               workshop will consist of lectures and extensive
               hands-on sessions. General aspects of molecular
               mechanics software will be discussed. The program
               AMBER will be discussed in detail. Participants are
               encouraged to work on the examples provided or on
               their own experimental data. No prior supercomputing
               experience is necessary.
  EXPENSES:    Partcipants must pay their own travel. Tuition, hotel,
               supercomputing time and workshop materials are provided
               for US academic partcipants by the PSC's NIH Research
               Resource grant.
  ELIGIBLE:    There will be 20 openings for individuals from US academic
               insitutions and potentially a limited number of openings
               for industrial and others who would like to take this course.
