Project #1: In a group I would like you to generate an image of any protein. We will be blogging about it — please make sure you describe your protein, how you found it and what you did to display it. Please use some descriptive tags (3 to 5) and click on the Protein Structure category so that it displays on the right place!
10:30 – break
11 – Module III continued
Project #2: I’d like you to extend your exploration of your protein using Consurf. Again we will be blog about it — please make sure you describe what tools you used to generate your images. Please use some descriptive tags (3 to 5) and click on the Protein Structure category so that it displays on the right place!
