Lecture notes:
Homework assignments:
HW 1
Check out:
- The protein folding game foldit. Download and install on your computer,
play the introductory puzzles.
- The molecular viewer PyMOL. This
tutorial may be helpful in getting started.
- Register for a license key for the program MODELLER.
Useful links:
- The PDB, the
repository of experimentally determined protein structures.
- NCBI PSI-Blast.
- MUSCLE protein
multiple sequence alignment server.
- PredictProtein protein
sequence analysis web server: secondary structure prediction, coiled-coils,
transmembrane helices, fold recognition, ...
