Course content
The discipline "Principles of Molecular Modeling" is taught in the 6th semester to undergraduate students of the 3rd year studying at the Department of Biophysics and Medical Informatics. During the study of the course much attention is paid to the formation of students' ideas about the principles and approaches to modeling the biophysical properties of various molecular systems. The subject "Principles of Molecular Modeling" covers the study of systems approaches to understanding and studying the principles of software and ways to perform biophysical analysis of molecular systems using a computer. During the study of the discipline much attention is paid to the practical application of such approaches to solve specific computational problems.
