Subject: 09.08.04 <span class="fancysmall">Molecular Simulation &amp; Modeling using CHARMM &amp;  MMTSB Tool Set, August 04-07 2009, UCSD.</span><br />

<pre>Application deadline is July 1, 2009

Workshop Organizers:

Charles L. Brooks, III, Chemistry &amp; Biochemistry, University of Michigan

David Case, Chemistry &amp; Chemical Biology, Rutgers University

Description:

This workshop will provide participants with a solid introduction to the theory and methodology behind current methods of molecular simulations
in biophysics: force field development, simulation algorithms, analysis techniques and advanced sampling and simulation methods, and structure 
prediction/refinement (including Go-Models). Participants will be involved in hands-on applications of these principles through tutorials and
individual pursuits, conducted with the mentorship of leading researchers in the field of molecular biophysics theory and simulation. 
The workshop will focus on the implementation of these approaches through the Amber and CHARMM macromolecular simulation programs and the 
MMTSB Tool Set. This workshop is aimed at graduate students, postdocs and faculty who have a background in quantitative areas of biology 
as well as physics and chemistry. Participation will be limited to a total of 30 invited researchers.

Presenters:

Jianhan Chen, Biochemistry, Kansas State University

Michael Feig, Biochemistry &amp; Molecular Biology, Michigan State University

Jana K. Shen, Chemistry &amp; Biochemistry, University of Oklahoma
