Class 01: Itroduction to Structure Visualization and Molecular Dynamics

20 Novembro 2020, 09:30 • Miguel Machuqueiro

In this class, we recap the fundamentals of molecular visualization skills using PyMOL, which will be important for the upcoming classes. The simpler skills you are expected to develop are viewing and manipulating molecular structures on the computer screen, and producing quality pictures for presentation or publication purposes. The basics of Molecular Dynamics are also presented. It is expected for students to get a feel of the workflow needed to perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. At the end, we also select a protein to be used in the MD workflow.
