During the last week, you will work on a full simulation, from downloading, preparing, running, and analysis. It is a good idea to choose a protein from the RCSB or the class list early (during the second week?), and work with it as you do the other assignments. This page will offer some suggestions.

  1. Pulling (SMD) simulation. If you choose a pulling simulation, you must average the results of (at least) five separate runs.
  2. Solvated protein. In this case, you must solvate your protein of choice in a water box and do some analyses
  3. Other possibilities…?
