How to use multiple .pdb files as templates for homology modelling?
I just ran an AlphaFold job for PduK from the Pdu BMC operon and got very strange results including a large circular loop of random coil. According to Mayer et al., PduK should be semi-triangular ...

Is there a computational method/method/way to predict if a cell population in a tissue immigrated or is enriched locally?
I have single cell data which I have analysed for differential expression. In my experiment, I subjected two groups of mice (a control and a treatment group) to treatment that will lead to the ...

How to measure or assign hydrophobicity score values to individual amino acids of a PDB structure?
I want measure the hydrophobicity of each amino acid within a PDB structure file. Since I have the PDB file I want to consider the 3D information, rather than sequence-only measures such as GRAVY.
I ...
