Module I: Molecular Dynamics
Membrane protein simulations, Phil Biggin
"Molcular Modelling. Principles and Applications". Andrew Leach. Publisher: Prentice Hall. ISBN: 0582382106. This book has rapidly become the defacto introductory text for all aspects of simulation.

General reading about Quantum Chemistry:
Attila Szabo and Neil S. Ostlund Modern quantum chemistry: introduction to advanced electronic structure theory.
A good general text book on Quantum Chemistry. Reading this book is not a prerequisite for this course, it merely provides background material for a major part of the course. For derivations etc. I will refer to this book occasionally.
General reading about QM/MM:

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 126 (2004), 4228-4233.
This paper provides an example of how QM/MM aproaches can be used for studying the functions of proteins. The paper will be discussed in detail in one of the lectures.
