Research: CANCER Folding Project #17802

Project #17802 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project explores using AI to understand how proteins work, specifically focusing on BCL-XL, a protein linked to lymphoma. Researchers are testing new methods called 'adaptive sampling' to build models of proteins from different data points. One version starts with many protein structures and connects them, while another starts with just one and predicts the rest.
Automated summary; simplified and may not be fully accurate.

Official Project Description

BCL-XL apoptotic protein --- a drug target in lymphoma.

More info coming soon.

Together with project 17800 this is also testing new methodology --- adaptive sampling.

This is the adaptive (first time on F@h) sampling version of the system. Project 17801 tests a 'simpler' version of the problem for the adaptive sampling algorithm --- we start from 35 crystal structures and attempt to connect them into one model. Project 17802 tests a 'harder' version of the problem --- we start from just 1 crystal structure and attempt to predict the other ones.
