Prerequisites: graduate standing in Chemistry or consent of instructor

Description: Focuses on molecular recognition and systems-level simulations, addressing theory and applications. Includes statisti- cal mechanics (as applied to the prediction of equilib- rium and nonequilibrium properties of chemical and biological systems), drug design and discovery, and cheminformatics. Utilizes numerical analysis, molecu- lar dynamics and Brownian dynamics simulations, docking and scoring programs, and chemical data- base tools. Students who present a seminar receive a letter grade; other students receive a Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC) grade. Course is repeatable. Chang
