CHEM 26800 - Computational Chemistry and Biology

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: CHEM 26100-26200, or PHYS 19700 and 23400. The theme for this course is the identification of scientific goals that computation can assist in achieving. We examine problems such as understanding the electronic structure and bonding in molecules, interpreting the structure and thermodynamic properties of liquids, protein folding, enzyme catalysis, and bioinformatics. The lectures deal with aspects of numerical analysis and with the theoretical background relevant to calculations of the geometric and electronic structure of molecules, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo simulations. The lab consists of computational problems drawn from a broad range of chemical and biological interests. Z. Gasyna. Spring. L.
