Prerequisites: graduate standing in Chemistry or consent of instructor

Description: Focuses on molecular recognition and systems-level simulations, addressing theory and applications. Includes statistical mechanics (as applied to the prediction of equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of chemical and biolog- ical systems), drug design and discovery, and chemin- formatics. Utilizes numerical analysis, molecular dynamics and Brownian dynamics simulations, dock- ing and scoring programs, and chemical database tools. Students who present a seminar receive a letter grade; other students receive a Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC) grade. Course is repeatable.
