CCL 09.11.11 Algorithms for Macromolecular Modeling (AM^3), Austin, Texas | |
From: chemistry-request at ccl.net To: chemistry-request at ccl.net Date: Wed Jul 1 06:54:24 2009 Subject: 09.11.11 Algorithms for Macromolecular Modeling (AM^3), Austin, Texas url: http://www.ices.utexas.edu/ices/am3/ dates: 11/11/2009 - 11/15/2009 contact: Ruth Hengst ruth "at" ices.utexas.edu Scope: With advances in multi-core systems, special purpose hardware and software, and in algorithms and physics-based theory, molecular modeling and simulation has become a standard partner to experiment. Computer simulations help to create plausible atomic structures from low-resolution images of large biomolecular complexes, and link the static experimental structures of proteins and nucleic acids with their dynamic behavior in aqueous solution and realistic environment of the cell. Molecular dynamics (MD) and other modeling and simulation techniques can offer an effective tool for refining experimental models and for probing systematically how molecules fold and reshape and perform the basic functions of life. Modeling provides comprehensive atomically detailed picture of the process that supplement the average and more limited experimental information. Yet many fundamental and practical limitations face biomolecular modelers. they include the approximate nature of the governing force fields as well as simulation protocols, the limited range of configurational sampling and relatively short trajectory times, the neglect of quantum effects in classical molecular dynamics, and the enormous computational requirements (needed to simulate a solvated macro-molecular system with full details of the environment). New algorithmic approaches, hierarchical spatial representations, and improved computing platforms are thus continuously in demand to enhance the reliability of macromolecular simulations, enhance the scope of theoretical work, and address biological problems with great specificity. In light of the highly multidisciplinary nature of macromolecular modeling, educational efforts are also crucial for training the current generation of young biomolecular modelers.
