Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Content:
Introduction to molecular graphics programs using VMD. Comparison of NMR and X-Ray structure of a protein.
Quantifying structural differences (RMSD, Secondary Structure
Assignment, hydrogen bond networks...). Introduction to some
of the advanced functions of VMD. "Nice"
representations of protein structures and movie making. A first introduction
into molecular mechanics calculations (CHARMM). Thereby, a focal point
is the correct set up of the system (adding missing coordinates, protonation
state of side chains in the protein and of the ligand).

Study aids: are handed out during the course (mostly in English, some in German).

Assessment and permitted materials

Grading: Continuous evaluation of participation in the course, combined with the protocol to be handed in at the end of the course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students know how to use molecular graphics programs to visualize information about a protein and to
explore differences in related structures. Basic concepts
of molecular mechanics calculations are used to complement structure based techniques.
