DBT Sponsored National Workshop “To Predict and Model Biological Molecules and System”
16th-18th March, 2011
Organised by
BIOINFORMATICS INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITY
Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics
University of Kalyani Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal
Sponsored by
Dept. of Biotechnology Ministry of Science and Technology Government of India
About the Workshop Molecular modeling is the science of representing molecular structures numerically and simulating their behavior with the equations of quantum and classical physics. Computational chemistry programs allow scientists to generate and present molecular data including geometries (bond lengths, bond angles, torsion angles), energies (heat of formation, activation energy, etc.), electronic properties (moments, charges, ionization potential, electron affinity), spectroscopic properties (vibrational modes, chemical shifts) and bulk properties (volumes, surface areas, diffusion, viscosity, etc.). As with all models however, the chemist's intuition and training is necessary to interpret the results appropriately. Comparison to experimental data, where available, is also important to guide both laboratory and computational work.
Molecular dynamics is a specialised discipline of molecular modeling and computer simulation based on statistical mechanics. It generates information at the microscopic level, including atomic positions and velocities, as pressure, energy, heat capacities etc. On other words, it is a form of computer simulation technique, where the time evolution of a set of interacting atoms is followed by integrating their equations of motions. Molecular systems generally consist of a vast number of particles, it is impossible to find the properties of such complex systems analytically. MD simulation circumvents this problem by using numerical methods like Monte Carlo, Empirical Force Field & statistical mechanics. It represents an interface between laboratory experiments and theory. Molecular Dynamics provokes the relationship between molecular structure, movement and function.
Topics to be covered: Various aspects of Molecular Modeling and Dynamics: Simulation & its application.
Eligibility Faculty from Universities and Affiliated Colleges, Scientists and Scholars from R&D Institutes, Professionals from Industries and Biotech companies, Post-Graduates Students with a background in biology.
Participant’s Presentation: Participants are invited for the oral presentation in various aspects of “Molecular Dynamics & Simulation” in the workshop. The presentations would be in Microsoft Power Point format. Interested candidates may send their abstract (not exceeding 500 words) in the proper format, along with the registration form by email on or before 11th March, 2011. A maximum of TWO abstracts can be submitted by a single participant.
