Physics and Chemistry Majors

Needed for a Real-World Project

Join the Computational Structural Biology VIP Team!
The VIP Team needs you if you are interested in any of the following:
• Thermodynamics and/or statistical mechanics
• Macromolecular structure and function
• Computer simulations and/or programming
• Classical mechanics
• Web page design and maintenance

Computer simulations on biological macromolecules are critical components of efforts at
understanding structure-function relationships, and for structure-based molecular
design. The Computational Structure Biology VIP Team (VP6) is developing web-based
tutorials to facilitate the understanding of basic principles of macromolecular simulations
and the applications of such simulations to problems in structural biology.

The tools developed by the VIP Team will be the core of a new text in Computational
Structural Biology. They will be used by students in molecular modeling courses, and by
individuals who are learning simulation methods through independent study.

Students register for one or two credit hours each semester in PHYS, BIOL, CS or ECE
courses listed at the 2000, 3000 or 4000 level. Team meetings are Tuesdays, 9:35–
10:55 am in Klaus 1440. To learn more about VIP and to apply to join this team, go the
VIP website (http://vip.gatech.edu/). If you have questions, come to the first meeting or

contact Dr. Steve Harvey (steve.harvey@biology.gatech.edu).
