Modeling Workshop at Rensselaer

[breneman -x- at -x- quant.chem.rpi.edu]

         The Department of Chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic
 Institute, in Troy, New York, will sponsor a molecular modeling
 workshop this summer designed for professional chemists just
 making a start in molecular modeling.  Lectures on the first day will
 focus on these questions:  How do you approach a problem in
 molecular modeling?  What can you hope to learn?  Later in the
 course more advanced topics will cover aspects of molecular
 mechanics and quantum mechanics relevant to molecular modeling.
 One day will be devoted to some special considerations in modeling
 of complex biomolecules.
         A large portion of each day will be devoted to hands-on
 experience with two major molecular modeling software packages
 on modern graphics workstations.  Workstations will be available all
 day and throughout the evening for participants to experiment with.
         The workshop will begin at 9:00 A.M. on Thursday, August 1 and
 end at 1:00 P.M. on Sunday, August 4.  Troy is located just outside of
 Albany, NY.
         A course brochure and further information is available from
