Improving Homology Modeling

Tuesday, Jan 29, 2013 10:54 AM EST by Ward Smith | 0 Comments

While the Protein Data Bank includes nearly 88,000 protein structures that were determined experimentally, there are millions more proteins whose structures are unknown. Comparative or homology modeling offers a powerful approach for leveraging solved structures to reveal important biological details about the others. Two efforts, both funded through the Protein Structure Initiative, are evaluating the [...]
