General Information
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is widely used for understanding structure-dynamics-function relationships of various biomolecules. Recent developments of conformational sampling algorithms, force-fields, and multi-scale molecular models have allowed us to study essential biological processes in the cell. In this workshop, we discuss these methodological advances in bio-supercomputing as well as the latest application studies on protein-DNA dynamics in cell nuclear systems, membrane dynamics and membrane protein systems, and disorder, disease, and drug discovery.
