The Clemson Data Visualization Lab is pleased to announce the Visualizing Molecular Dynamics with VMD workshop. VMD is one of the most promising visualization platforms specifically designed for showing molecules, biomolecules and molecular dynamics simulation results. In this workshop you'll learn how to:

• Open different molecular and biomolecular structures in VMD
• Extract different regions of interest like hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of a molecule
• Display molecular structures by different visualization types like using chain, ribbons, etc.
• Create animations from dynamic molecular simulation

This is asynchronous training, where you can go over the instructional materials at your own pace. Instructions are available at https://sites.google.com/g.clemson.edu/vizlab/visualizing-molecular-dynamics-with-vmd

I will be holding two Q&A sessions for those of you who have any questions or technical issues with the software.  These sessions are not mandatory. If you cannot make any of these, you can always email me directly at yousefi@clemson.edu

• Q&A Session 1: Monday, October 19, 10:00 AM-11:00 AM Eastern Time https://clemson.zoom.us/j/99417231729
• Q&A Session 2: Monday, October 19, 1:00 PM-2:00 PM Eastern Time https://clemson.zoom.us/j/99417231729

Registration: https://forms.gle/ucV3fQYVVvwcRQcT6

If you cannot make any of those sessions and have any questions, send me an email and we can figure something out.

This workshop is suitable for all Clemson students, staff, and faculty, specifically those who are interested in exploring and visualizing molecular structures. There is no need for prior experience to attend the workshop, but some basic familiarity with programming is recommended. In order to receive a certificate of completion send your visualizations created based on this workshop by October 26 to yousefi@clemson.edu.
