Protein Structure Prediction |
Considered to be the holy grail of modern biology, a solution to the protein folding problem has enormous potentially beneficial impact on society. Prediction of three dimensional structures of drug targets, design of biocatalysts and nanobiomachines are a few of the multitude of foreseeable applications. At IIT Delhi, we have been developing a computational protocol for modeling and predicting protein structures at the atomic level. The software is named Bhageerath after the great Indian king who managed to accomplish the impossible task of getting the Ganges from heaven to earth. |
