Visualizing Molecular Dynamics with VMD

Visualizing Molecular Dynamics with VMD Workshop's Outline:

  • Introduction to molecular dynamics and using rendering software explore atomic and chemical structures and setting the agenda for the workshop (0 - 15 min), Click here

  • Introduction to VMD software and visualization concept behind it as well as introducing basic built-in filters available in VMD that could be used to create visualization from datasets (15 - 70 min), Click here.

  • Creating animation from 3D visualizations to show time- dependency or interactivity of the models, based on different animation modes available in VMD software (70 - 100 min), Click here.

  • Showing the advanced capabilities of the VMD to work with complex chemical structures that has interesting applications for identifying the relevant parts of molecular species such as different residues, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic parts (100 - 130 min), Click here.

  • Q&A and if you have any data available, I'll be happy to help you get started for its visualization! (130 - 180 min)

PREREQUISITES FOR THE WORKSHOP:

  • VMD software (it is installed in your machines), official website: VMD Download.

  • Workshop datasets, download it from here.
