Orientation & Setup

begin your journey with a comprehensive introduction to molecular docking. Set up your system environment with essential tools like AutoDock Tools, PyRx, and PyMOL. Learn how to access and extract structural data from databases like PDB and PubChem.

Docking Execution with PyRx & AutoDock Vina

Run real-time simulations using PyRx and AutoDock Vina. Dive deep into scoring functions, conformational flexibility, and binding affinity. Execute batch docking for multiple ligands and understand the practical nuances of virtual screening.

5: Project Implementation & Q&A

Apply your learning through a mentor-guided mini project. Participate in live Q&A sessions, resolve doubts in real-time, and earn a certification backed by hands-on project experience.

Ligand & Protein Preparation

Master the preparation of ligands and proteins for docking simulations. Clean, optimize, and convert molecular structures using Open Babel and AutoDock Tools. Learn the basics of molecular modeling and how to prepare receptors and ligands for accurate docking.

Visualization & Interaction Analysis

Use PyMOL and Discovery Studio to visualize docking results. Identify key interactions like hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic contacts, and RMSD. Generate high-resolution publication-ready images and analyze binding poses with confidence.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations for Biologists Workshop

This is a 2-week live, mentor-led internship that introduces you to molecular docking, MD simulations, and protein-ligand interaction analysis. You’ll gain hands-on experience with tools like AutoDock, PyRx, PyMOL, SwissDock, and Discovery Studio, all under expert guidance.

Anyone from a life sciences background can apply:

 

  • B.Sc., M.Sc., B.Tech., M.Tech., or PhD students

  • Teaching professionals

  • Industry professionals in biotech, bioinformatics, or pharma R&D

Not at all!
This is a beginner-friendly internship. We guide you step-by-step through all tools and processes — no coding or prior simulation experience is required.

You’ll be using:

 

  • AutoDock Tools & Vina

  • PyRx

  • PyMOL

  • Open Babel

  • SwissDock
    All of them are free and open-source. Setup instructions will be shared in the orientation session

Yes. Every participant who completes the internship will get a verifiable e-certificate issued by Biopractify & Biolabs Research Division.

The program is conducted live over Zoom with real-time mentorship.
All sessions are also recorded and shared with lifetime access so you can revisit anytime.
