Last update: Kolafa Jiří prof. RNDr. CSc. (24.01.2016)
The course is an excursion to modern computational chemistry. Half of the course is devoted to the necessary theory, the other half are examples and exercises. The course covers the quantum tutorial (program Gaussian), molecular simulation (MACSIMUS), computer biochemistry (PyMOL) and the properties of substances.
Aim of the course -
Last update: TAJ403 (13.12.2013)

Students will be able:

To btain overview of the methods of modern computational chemistry

To know when to use to solve problems by methods of quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics or molecular simulations

To have an overview of the capabilities of available software
