The methods of computer simulations in the study of biological macromolecules will be considered. The course of lectures has 3 sections. The first section is devoted to the classical molecular dynamics. The second section is devoted to methods of modeling the electronic structure of molecules and quantum molecular dynamics. The third section is devoted to the study of the method of coarse-grained molecular dynamics. In this course, free softaware for modeling biological macromolecules (VMD, NAMD,) will be used.
