| Kurzbeschreibung | Molecular models, classical force fields, configuration sampling, molecular dynamics simulation, boundary conditions, electrostatic interactions, analysis of trajectories, free-energy calculations, structure refinement, applications in chemistry and biology. Exercises: hands-on computer exercises for learning progressively how to perform an analyze classical simulations (using the package GROMOS). |
| Lernziel | Introduction to classical (atomistic) computer simulation of (bio)molecular systems, development of skills to carry out and interpret these simulations. |

| Skript | The powerpoint slides of the lectures will be made available weekly on the website in pdf format (on the day preceding each lecture). |
| Literatur | See: www.csms.ethz.ch/education/CSBMS |
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Since the exercises on the computer do convey and test essentially different skills than those being conveyed during the lectures and tested at the oral exam, the results of the exercises are taken into account when evaluating the results of the exam (learning component, possible bonus of up to 0.25 points on the exam mark).
