Classes

This computer lab will be held from the end of November till mid-January (at the latest). You will work in the JupyterHub Server (via Moodle) and with a free program you need to install on your computer/laptop. (Details in the Moodle page of the course).

You need to complete several exercises and there will be deadlines for uploading your solutions (plus short protocols) in Moodle.

The course is completely remote, so you are free to schedule when you work on the exercises. During the course I will offer office hours (in addition to help via e-mail).

These informations will be updated regularly.


Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

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.

Assessment and permitted materials

Grading: Continuous evaluation of participation in the course, combined with evaluation of the exercises handed in.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Despite or rather because of the absence of fixed work hours, demonstration of regular work is essential.

Protocols for the various tasks have to be handed in (via Moodle):
1) Begin of the Christmas break -- protocols of the computer graphics exercises [40%], introductory CHARMM example [10%]
2) Mid-January: protocols for the various illustrative examples using CHARMM (MD, MC..) [5 * 10%]
