Overview
What you will study
The Molecular Modeling course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology consists of both theoretical lectures and practical computer exercises. Basic theory will be covered and applications within chemistry, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry will be discussed.
Today, computer simulations are an important tool for the study of chemical processes in such different systems as isolated molecules, fluids, polymers, solid state, and biological macromolecules, like proteins and DNA. The enormous development of computer hard drive space means that the molecular modeling field is developing very quickly.
