[gmx-users] Conference "Frontiers in Biomolecular Simulation"

2011-10-10 Thread Rainer Boeckmann
We are proud to announce the 495. Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Seminar
"Frontiers in Biomolecular Simulation" to take place on Jan. 22.-25. 2012
at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef in Germany. The conference is sponsored by
the Heraeus-Foundation, Germany's premier private organisation for the
advancement of physics.

The conference will deal with the topics of Coarse Grained Models and
Methods, Simulating Membranes and Membrane Proteins, Large Scale Quantum
Processes and Multiscale and Large Scale Biomolecular Simulation. We are
happy to announce that more than 20 distinguished international speakers
are committed to make this an intimate, highly productive meeting.

Please refer to:

http://www.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/~cd186/

for more information.

At the moment, we are encouraging scientists to apply for ca. 30 attendee
slots at the meeting which will be filled until Oct. 30th. The conference
is free to attend and includes food&lodging, participants only have to
cover their own travel costs. We expect slots to fill up very quickly, so
please register early. We especially encourage junior group leaders and
scientists beginning work in the field of Biomolecular Simulation to
attend and present posters on their recent work.

Kind Regards,

Dr. Thomas Steinbrecher

also on behalf of my Co-organizers:

Marcus Elstner, Rainer Boeckmann and Christine Peter

Re: [gmx-users] OPLS and RB parameters in GROMACS

2011-02-09 Thread Rainer Boeckmann
Dear Sulatha,

these are probably the more recent parameters from

Price, M. L. P., D. Ostrovsky, and W. L. Jorgensen. 2001. Gas-phase and 
liquid-state properties of
8esters, nitriles, and nitro compounds with the opls-aa force field. J. Comput. 
Chem. 22:1340–
1352.
