Protein structure prediction and homology modelling
BCH 2024H
Powerful methods exist to extract the maximal amount of information from a protein sequence. Students will pick a topic from the list below (or suggest a topic) and present the state of the art to the class. Presentations should be based on 3-5 recent papers and should not be closely linked to methods being used in the student’s thesis project. Subject choices will be discussed with the instructor prior to approval.
Sequence alignments

Phylogenies
Prediction of secondary structure and disorder
Ab initio methods
