HONR 46200 - Protein Design With FoldIt

Credit Hours: 3.00.  The protein folding problem is a grand challenge in biology. How does a protein’s amino acid sequence dictate its three-dimensional structure? FoldIt is an online game in which players determine the most stable folded structure of hypothetical proteins that have been predicted by unique computer algorithms to perform specific functions in the cell. Students in this course will be introduced to the mechanics of the FoldIt software to fold computer-predicted proteins into their native structures as well as design novel proteins that can bind and deactivate the Covid19 spike protein.Credits: 3.00
