Description:
During the course, students in practice become familiar with: 1. Deterministic modeling based on numerical solving for ordinary differential equations - examples and applications in biophysics: - transmission of nerve impulses, - tumor growth, - molecular motors, 2. Amino acid and protein databases. 3. Modeling of molecules and their systems using density functional methods (DFT); geometry parameters, charge distribution characteristics and molecular spectra of organic molecules (e.g. amino acids). 4. Modeling of organic molecules and their systems using molecular dynamics methods.
