Annotation -
Last update: Spiwok Vojtěch prof. Ing. Ph.D. (19.06.2013)
The subject covers theoretical backgrounds and practical examples of application of computational methods on molecular systems, namely molecular mechanics and quantum mechanics. It includes small molecules, as well as biomolecules and supra-molecular systems.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Spiwok Vojtěch prof. Ing. Ph.D. (12.07.2013)

Students will be able to:

design, apply and analyse results of molecular modelling calculations (molecular mechanics, basic quantum chemistry methods, docking).
