Welcome to the q-bio Summer School and Conference!

Coarse-grained Molecular models

From Q-bio

Read before lecture: M. Levitt - A Simplified Representation of Protein Conformations for Rapid Simulation of Protein Folding - J. Mol. Biol. 1976, 104, 59-107


This tutorial will deal with the main ideas behind coarse graining and reduced representations in the context of molecular biology. We will also develop and simulate a coarse-grained model for protein folding using NAMD.
