Message:
Psi-k Summer School on Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics for Biomolecules
to take place in Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Italy, 9-14 June 2013
The objective of this summer school is to introduce young researchers (PhD and postdocs)
to the use of ab initio molecular dynamics for the study of biological systems. It will
provide a practical guide on how to set up an ab initio study of a biomolecule starting
from available experimental structures, within hybrid Quantum Mechanics/Molecular
Mechanics schemes, based on density functional theory (DFT). An important part of the
School will be devoted to the calculation of spectroscopic properties and to the common
success and drawbacks of DFT in the specific case of biological matter. Moreover, the
participation of experimental experts in structural biology and biomolecular spectroscopy
will provide an overview of open problems in the field and on the relationships between
experimental data and computational approaches. A combination of theory, computer
implementation, test cases and successful state-of-the-art applications will be presented,
complemented by practical simulation sessions.
Further information and the list of lecturers and topics can be found on the school
website

The deadline for registration and poster abstract submission is 5th May 2013. The number
of participants is limited to about 30 students. Accepted participants will be notified by
8th May 2013. A limited number of fellowships are available to fully cover the
accommodation and food costs for the participants. The deadline for fellowship
applications is 21st April 2013.
