CANCELLED: QM/MM modelling with ChemShell, April 2020
From Wednesday 01 April 2020
To Thursday 02 April 2020

*** THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK***

CCPBioSim and CCP5 are holding a training workshop on combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) modelling in Manchester following the 4th Manchester Multiscale Conference.

In the first session we will discuss the principles of QM/MM modelling and introduce the ChemShell software package. ChemShell is a scriptable computational chemistry environment which provides a flexible way to link QM and MM codes together to perform QM/MM calculations. There will then be an opportunity to learn the basics of ChemShell in the first practical. In the second session we will describe in more depth how QM/MM biomolecular and materials calculations are set up and performed using several case studies, followed by further hands-on tutorials.

The workshop is aimed at chemists with some experience of computational chemistry modelling at either the ab initio or atomistic level. No knowledge of QM/MM calculations is assumed.

The workshop will introduce the new Python-based version of ChemShell, so may also be of interest to users who are familiar with the original Tcl-based package.
