Workshop Objectives
The worshop will introduce HADDOCK (High Ambiguity Driven protein-protein DOCKing) which is an information-driven flexible docking approach for the modeling of biomolecular complexes, and PMX which is a service for users who need to do free energy calculations. PMX utilizes the Gromacs classical molecular dynamics simulation engine to perform calculations at the background. The workshop also covers advanced usage of Gromacs itself in particular on HPC environment.
Upon registration the participants are asked for special topics they are interested in which potentially could be covered at the workshop. It will be possible to follow a video stream of the lectures also remotely, but unfortunately we will not be able to support doing the hands-on remotely. Check closer to the event for detailed instructions, or contact us.
Registration
Please register for on-site or remote participation here. Registration deadline is 27th September 2019 by 12:00
BioExcel can provide a limited number of travel bursaries for participants. Instructions to apply can be found in the registration form.
