Molecular dynamics simulations in NAMD Molecular dynamics simulations in NAMD It is suggested to participate also in VMD and basic principles in MD theory training sessions. This training course delivered by Dr Karina Kubiak – Ossowska (Knowledge Exchange Associate, ARCHIE-WeSt, karina.kubiak@strath.ac.uk) will cover: 1. Running MD simulations in NAMD: from protein structure to MD simulations system neutralisation and solvation minimization, equilibration, heating the trajectory calculations 2. Advanced MD simulations Steered MD (SMD) Particle Mesh Ewald (PME) method
