Protein Structure and Function
Zach Frazier,
Samudrala Lab
I graduated in 2003 with with a degree in ACMS (Numerical Analysis
track). Since then I have worked for the Samudrala Lab ( http://compbio.washington.edu/ ) in the Microbiology department as a
scientific programmer. I have worked on the Bioverse (
http://bioverse.compbio.washington.edu/ ) and most recently on some
protein structure prediction. I will give an overview of the
Samudrala lab, and the problems we are working on. In particular the
Bioverse which allows the exploration of relationships between
proteins, and provides analysis and predictions of protein structure
and function. And RAMP, a suite of programs used in the modeling of
protein three-dimensional structure.
