Training in Molecular Modeling and Molecular Dynamics
February 18-21,2020
Where?
National Institutes of Health
9000 Rockville Pike
Building 60, Room 162
Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Objectives
Participants will use popular open source tools and techniques necessary for conducting successful molecular modeling and dynamics experiments... in the cloud.
Background
Predicting the effect of a mutation on the structure and function of a protein is not just for researchers with super-computer facilities. Thanks to public cloud computing options, anyone with basic molecular biology background can setup and run compute intensive computational modeling and dynamics experiments.
