During the week of the Membrane Protein Structural Dynamics Consortium (MPSDC)’s Annual Meeting, a workshop specifically dedicated to Membrane Protein Modeling will be held at the University of Chicago on Tuesday, May 7th. This Workshop is designed to provide an introduction to the most important computational tools and techniques used in molecular dynamics simulations of membrane proteins, including utilization of the programs NAMD and VMD, as well as the CHARMM-GUI Membrane Builder. We will also cover the use of force field parameterization tools. The workshop will include a practical “hands-on” session.
The Workshop is co-organized by the Computational Modeling Core (CMC) of the MPSDC and the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group (TCBG) of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

- The CMC Workshop requires up-to-date hardware, operating systems, and software versions. Minimum requirements for laptops are provided in the following page. Configurations that provide less than the minimum requirements may function poorly, or not at all. Please visit this page to ensure that you meet the hardware and software requirements »
