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).
