The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for intensive discussions about the state-of-the-art in Brownian Dynamics simulations of biological macromolecules and related methodologies. Particular attention will be paid to the theoretical description of concentrated media, simulations in cell-like environments and in-vivo measurements of diffusion. Participants will include theoreticians and experimentalists. Speakers will be encouraged to present work in progress and discuss speculative ideas. Topics include: molecular diffusion, Diffusional association, Hydrodynamic interactions, Aggregation, oligomerization, and self-assembly, Macromolecular crowding, Macromolecular flexibility The meeting will take place at the Villa Bosch, Heidelberg, Germany, and, via video-conferencing, at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). There will be live video-conferencing sessions each evening (Heidelberg)/morning (San Diego). Further information and registration can be found on our website: http://projects.villa-bosch.de/mcm/BDBDB2/ The deadline for registration and submitting abstracts is August 31, 2010.
