Scientific scope

The scope of the proposed Workshop will cover different fields of computational and theoretical modeling of biomolecular interactions, including protein-protein, protein-DNA, and ligand-receptor interactions. Some specific examples of macromolecular computer modeling (which covers all the behavior of macromolecules) include protein folding, protein stability, conformational changes, enzyme catalysis and molecular recognition of DNA, RNA, proteins and membrane complexes. The lectures will describe how breakthroughs in simulation technology and methodology permit today atomic level of detail in understanding of molecular interactions. Special section devoted to different issues of radiation biophysics will be organized. It will cover simulation of DNA repair mechanisms, charge particle interaction with DNA, track structure simulation for radiation biophysics, mathematical modeling of eye retina activity and synaptic transmission. The Workshop program includes invited lectures, oral and poster presentations of young scientists and master-classes on molecular and Brownian dynamics and computer chemistry.
