Introduction to Protein Structure Analysis and AlphaFold
Date: 28 - 29 April 2022
This two-day training session will provide the basics of protein structure determination and how this information is stored in databases.
We will explore and search in online databases containing protein structure information including models from AlphaFoldDB. With the aid of the Yasara View program, we will visualize protein structures on the first day. Different hands-on exercises will allow you to compare the structure of homologues. We will use (online) tools to quantify various interactions in the structures.
On the second day, we will use AlphaFold2 via the HPC cluster at the VSC UGhent to predict structural models of proteins. We will also investigate how to find homologous structures via 3D searches. In the afternoon, the second day is dedicated to your own research question you might want to address via structural predictions using AlphaFold2.
