Workshops
CCPB runs two specialist training workshops each year, covering topics relevant to the biosimulation community. Each workshop typically has 20-30 delegates and involves introductory presentations and hands-on practical sessions.
Information from previous workshops can be found by clicking on the relevant link.
If there are any topics you would like to see covered by a CCPB workshop, please let us know.
Setting up protein simulations
This workshop will take place at the University of Nottingham on 6 November 2009. The workshop will be similar to our previously run 'How to set up a protein simulation' and will guide participants through the process of setting up a simulation. more details
USPA Workshop - Electrostatics Calculations
A workshop on using the APBS software to calculate electrostatics was run as a Satellite event to the CCPB annual meeting in January 2009. more details
Free Energy
A workshop on Free Energy calculations was run in September 2009 at Southampton University. Participants were shown how to use the ProtoMS code to calculate hydrate free energies and binding free energies. Further details can be found here.
Running simulations on the NGS
In November 2008, CCPB ran a joint workshop with the NGS to give an introduction to the use of grid computing and how to run biomolecular simulations on grid architecture. more details
How to set up a protein simulation
This popular workshop has now been run twice, in November 2006 and April 2008, and guides participants through the process of setting up a protein simulation, from downloading a model from the PDB to carrying out MD simulations. more details
QM/MM Calculations
Dr Adrian Mulholland and his group ran this workshop which served as an introduction to using combined quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics methods (QM/MM). more details
Analysis of biomolecular simualtion data
The first CCPB workshop was run in July 2006 and focused on the use of two techniques: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the use of 'R' as a platform for biomolecular simulation analysis. more details
Protein-Ligand docking
In this workshop, Dr Garrett Morris (Inhibox, formally Scripps) gave an introduction to the AutoDock software and Dr Jawahar Swaminathan (EBI) showcased some of the EBI web-tools for structure quality assessment. more details
