Monday: 16:00 - 17:30, weekly(11x)

Comment/Description

IMPORTANT:

To conduct the hands-on computer tutorial, you need access to the CIP Pool computers at the Physics faculty. Usually only students of the Physics faculty automatically get such an account. A GWDG account or an account of a different faculty is not sufficient. If you do not possess such an account yet, please contact the local CIP Pool administrator office in room C.00.101 or write an e-mail to support@cip.physik.uni-goettingen.de.


This combined lecture and hands-on computer tutorial is the continuation of the lecture "Theoretical and Computational Biophysics" (usually taking place in the previous winter term) and offers the possibility to deepen the knowledge about theory and computer simulations of biomolecular systems, particularly proteins. During the exercises, the knowledge presented in the lecture is applied to practical examples to further deepen and strengthen the understanding. By completing homework sets, which are distributed after each lecture, additional aspects of the addressed topics during the lecture shall be worked out. The homework sets are collected during the corresponding exercises.

 

Whereas the lecture "Theoretical and Computational Biophysics" emphasized the principles of running and analyzing simple atomistic force field-based simulations, this advanced course will broaden our view and introduce concepts and methods particularly required to understand biomolecular function, namely thermodynamic quantities such as free energies and affinities. Further, inclusion of quantum mechanical simulation techniques will allow to also simulate chemical reactions, e.g., in enzymes.

 

The following topics will be introduced and further discussed:  Quantum mechanical methods, Hartree-Fock and Density Functional Theory, Rate Theory, Non-equilibrium thermodynamics, Charge transfer and photosynthesis, Free energy calculations.

Admission settings

The course is part of admission "GGNB_Methods_2020_SoSe_February_April".
You can register and sign out for courses in April from 1-20 February. The slots will be assigned around 25 February.
In exceptional circumstances, you can still sign out before 29 February.
Your participation becomes binding on 1 March. Thereafter, cancellation is only possible with a) sick certificate, or b) statement by supervisor. If you do not provide this, you will be banned from courses for the current and next semester, as well as travel grants and other financial support.
By signing up you agree to frequently check your student e-mail account, as all information on courses will exclusively be sent to that account.
