Wiki

Hello, and welcome.

This wiki is meant to introduce beginners to computational chemistry and molecular mechanics. I recommend learning a bit in each topic as you go, rather than trying to master topics one at a time.

Topics:

• 00readme: orientation; read me first
• Bash: a very popular shell environment
• VMD: a powerful tool for visualizing molecules and their dynamics
• Molecular Dynamics simulations: introductory survey of molecular dynamics simluations and related concepts
• Python: a popular, ubiquitous, and (relatively) easy programming language
• Proteins: an introduction to the "machinery" in living cells
