[ATM] Introduction to Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy

This one day module will deliver a concise introduction to the theory and applications of EPR spectroscopy in soft condensed matter research. It will comprise a half-day introduction to theory and a half-day “hands-on” virtual lab that includes spectral simulation to extract information on structure and dynamics of soft matter.

Date: March 10th 2021
Application Period :
February 15th-March 5th  2021

[ATM] Computer Simulation

The aims of this ATM are: (1) to give a theoretical introduction to computer simulation techniques, and (2) to make the participants familiar with practice of molecular dynamics simulations of polymer systems.

On each of two days (March 4 and 5, 2021) there will be online lectures from 9:30 till 12:45 (two lectures with 15 minutes break) and online practical course in the afternoon, from 14:00 till 17:00. The link to the MLUconf-room will be sent to participants on March 3, 2021.

In the lectures, the participants will learn about theoretical foundation of computer simulation techniques, e.g., molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) methods, about practical aspects of implementation of MD and MC algorithms, about coarse-graining and multiscale simulations, etc.

In the practical part, the participants will perform own computer simulation study of a model polymer system using either one of the freely available software packages or a pre-built executable file. For practical exercises, the participants need to have an own computer or laptop (either Windows, or Mac, or Linux) or a remote access to some of computer clusters of MLU.

Date: March 4./5th 2021
Application Period :
February 15th-28th  2021

Who: PD Dr. Viktor Ivanov

[ATM] Cryo-EM: Molecular Biophysics – Introduction to Cryo-EM

Date: November, 25th/ 26th/ 27th, 2020
Lecturer/ Trainer: Jun.-Prof. Panagiotis Kastritis/ Dr. Annette Meister
Location: Biozentrum and Charles-Tanford Proteinzentrum, MLU
Number of Participants: 5 min., 10 max.
Registration: Please use the form at the end of this post
Registration deadline: November 18th, 2020, WAITING LIST

 

Be a Cryo-EM micropist and learn in this ATM more about the functionality, application and background of Cryo-electron microscopy. In addition to various lectures giving an overview about the cryo-EM instrument, methods and image processing you can work in small groups under supervision of Jun.-Prof. Dr. Kastritis and his lab members on a Cryo-EM. Starting with sample preparation, continuing with microscopy and image processing you will get to know the workflow of this method. During this ATM you will get an insight into the fascinating technology of Cryo-EM and its numerous applications in the investigation of polymers.
