Poster 4: Tertiary Structure
Grace Carlberg '16, Andy Xu '16, and Andrew Adams '16
When proteins form polypeptide chains, they form primary structure - their amino acid sequence - secondary structure - their local shapes - and tertiary structure - their global fold and shape. Tertiary structure and its prediction are of vital importance to the biology community because ... Read More

Poster 7: Importance of Protein Structure Prediction
Michael Qian '16, Sarah Dovgin '16, and Esther Chung '16
Initially, drugs were discovered by either chance or by trial and error through screening methods. Because scientists did not have the ability to model protein structures, drug discovery was a very expensive process. Currently, researchers are working on technologies to determine protein ligands and potential drugs through the usage of predicted protein structures.
