The Enigma of Protein Folding
Dr. Binu Jacob2025-02-28T22:23:06-08:00The Problem: The complexity of Combinatorics and Charge interactions Imagine a thread with 20 different types of pearls, each capable of having 9 different rotational positions around the thread. Each pearl has distinct properties—some are positively charged, some are negatively charged, others are oily, and some are water-loving. These pearls are threaded together to form a long chain (~300-500 long). The challenge is to predict how this string of [...]
