About the Sanibel Conference 2018

Molecular dynamics (MD), quantum mechanical (QM) calculations, mass spectrometry (MS) and ion mobility (IM) are all indispensable tools and biophysical measurement techniques used throughout a vast range of research topics within biopharmaceutical and academic research.

The combination of MD and QM with MS and IM has impacted multiple research fields: from small molecule structure-activity-relationship design, drug-protein docking experiments, fundamental gas-phase ion chemistries and reactivities, to structural characterization of small drug-like isomers, organometallics, large native protein complexes and even modelling of the electrospray process.

This conference will highlight contributions made by both established and new up-and–coming researchers in the field of MD, QM, MS and IM.
