PHYS 300E - Molecular Modeling

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Physics

Description:

Molecular modeling is a collection of computer-based techniques for representing molecular structures both graphically and numerically and simulating their behavior. This course aims to introduce the hierarchy of computational modeling methods and the underlying physical principles used for searching, rationalizing and predicting structure and reactivity for a variety of chemical and biological systems ranging from hydrogen to protein interaction networks. Students will become familiar with and experience the methods used in different scientific disciplines including basic programming skills, navigating, displaying and understanding the massive amounts of computerized data, and using different computational methods to visualize relationships between the microscopic structure of molecules and their macroscopic properties.
