Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Computer assisted exercises dealing with simulation, analysis and
prediction of biomolecular structures. Emphasis is laid on a
"hands on" approach to problems ranging from elementary principles
"behind" molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to the prediction of the folding
dynamics of RNA molecules on secondary structure level.
1. Introduction to the software packages used for modeling RNA secondary
structure and the 3D structure of biomolecules (Nucleic Acid Builder,
Vienna RNA package).
2. Programming examples concerning the basic principles of MD simulations.
3. Examples concerning the prediction of RNA secondary structure and
folding dynamics.
Course material: Worksheet
Grading: The grade is based on the quality of the solutions to the exercises.
Participants can choose a subset of all offered examples to work on.
