about the course

This course will allow you to learn concepts about protein structure, ligands, force fields, and non-covalent protein-ligand interactions, conformational changes, prepare your system to run protein-ligand molecular dynamics, run your simulation, analyze your results as rmsd, Rg , rmsf, non-covalent protein-ligand interactions, calculated energy, etc.
