Research Paper Overview

Physics 323/623: Computational Biophysics Lab

Instructors: Drs. Jacquelyn S. Fetrow and Freddie R. Salsbury, Jr.

Research-based learning: The best way to learn to use computational biophysics methods is to apply those methods in a research-based format, an approach that we will follow in this course.  We will teach methods and theory, but you will apply the methods and theory to a problem for which we do not yet know the “right answer;” however, it is a problem in which we are interested. The final project in this course is to perform molecular dynamics simulations of eglin c and several mutants in explicit solvent, then to write a research paper regarding your results.
