Began work on a project to model aptamer-target interactions. My paired Ph.D. student and I hold biweekly Zoom meetings to discuss the next general goals, and I teach myself the required skills and methods to achieve those goals (Python, PyMOL, WSL commands, etc.). I work from the nucleotide sequence and use several web servers to form the secondary and tertiary structures, and docking software to compare many possible ligand interactions with a biological molecule to find areas of future… Show more Began work on a project to model aptamer-target interactions.
