Biostatistics and Medical Informatics Department Seminar with Hannah Wayment-Steele

The functions of biomolecules are often based in their ability to convert between multiple conformations. The next frontier lies in how well we can characterize, model, and predict protein dynamics. Professor Wayment-Steele will discuss a simple adaptation of AlphaFold to predict multiple conformations, development of large-scale benchmarks of dynamics from across multiple types of NMR experiments, and whether it may already be possible to predict the present of biologically-relevant motions.
