Our second Ambassador Program workshop is jointly organised with and supported by our colleagues at the National Competence Centres in Portugal, France, Spain and Ireland. The hands-on 2.5-day workshop will be a hybrid (on-site/online) event and will focus on the use of BioExcel core codes: GROMACS, HADDOCK, PMX and BioBB; and will include an Alphafold tutorial.

Participation: Open application with a selection. 40 applicants will be selected for on-site participation. Applicants from Portugal, France, Spain and Ireland will be prioritised for on-site participation. We can only accept participants from EuroHPC Joint Undertaking member institutions.

Registration fee: free

Program:

The program is under development and will contain the following elements:

  • Introduction to GROMACS (membrane-protein simulations) including how to perform alchemical transformation with GROMACS

  • HADDOCK Antigen-Antibody or/and Protein-DNA modelling

  • BioBB tutorial on protein conformational transitions calculations and automatic ligand parameterization

  • Advance free energy method / amino acid mutations

  • AlphaFold tutorial

Keywords: GROMACS, BioExcel, HADDOCK, PMX, BioBB, Workshop

City: Coimbra

Country: Portugal

Prerequisites:

The participants must have experience in basic Linux/Unix skills. Ability to use the command line: navigate files and directories through shell commands, create/move/delete files and directories, set environment variables etc.

Learning objectives:

  • Set up simple and complex (membrane-based) simulation systems and perform alchemical transformations using GROMACS.
  • GROMACS deployment on GPU-accelerated HPC systems
  • Familiarity with using HADDOCK for protein modelling in complex environments
  • Ability to use BioBB workflow
  • Perform free-energy calculations for protein systems
