It may be used to view more general molecules, as VMD can read a host of formats, including standard Protein Data Bank (PDB) files, and display the contained structure. The program VMD is designed for modeling, visualization, and analysis of biological systems such as proteins, nucleic acids, or lipid-bilayer assemblies. Based on Charm++ parallel objects, NAMD scales to thousands of processors on high-end parallel architectures and hundreds of processors on commodity clusters. NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. The primary objective of this tutorial is to teach the participant how to use NAMD and VMD for biomolecular modeling. While such events are generally organized on the American continent, it is important that they also be held at European venues. NAMD and VMD are currently utilized by, respectively, 47,000 and 195,000 end-users worldwide, with a growing demand for didactic events covering introductory to advanced material. During the proposed hands-on workshop, participants will use the scalable molecular dynamics program NAMD and the visualization platform VMD. Relevant physical concepts, mathematical techniques, and computational methods will be introduced, including force fields and algorithms used in molecular modeling, molecular dynamics simulations on parallel computers and free-energy methods to address rare events. The course will be based on case studies including the properties of membranes and membrane proteins, mechanisms of molecular motors, trafficking in the living cell through water and ion channels, and signaling pathways. The workshop sets out to explore physical models and computational approaches used for the simulation of biological systems and the investigation of their function at an atomic level. ![]()
