Research: POLYMERASE Folding Project #16750

Project #16750 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project uses computer simulations to study how bacteria work. It looks at how a key protein in bacteria folds, which is important for their survival and can be targeted by antibiotics. It also studies how another protein helps other proteins fold correctly.
