Proteins - Now that Everything has Changed
Tim Herman, PhD, Director, Center for BioMolecular Modeling Using engaging and powerful kits model how proteins are simply long linear sequences of amino acids, that spontaneously fold into complex 3D shapes, following basic principles of chemistry. Then explore how a stylized enzyme model will help students understand basic concepts while an accurate model leads to increasing levels of complexity.
AlphaFold: The Solution to the Protein Folding Problem?
Tim Herman, PhD, Director, Center for BioMolecular Modeling Learn how everything has changed in drug design with the November of 2020 unveiling of AlphaFold2 by Google DeepMind. Alphafold2 is a computational algorithm that accurately predicts the 3D structure of a protein, based on its amino acid sequence.
