Program

Day 1, Session 1

  • Klas Pettersen, NORA - Welcome & overview of the workshop 
  • Jon Lærdahl, Oslo University Hospital & University of Oslo - Proteins and techniques for predicting protein structure: an introduction (download presentation here) 
  • Inge Jonassen, University of Bergen - Computational structure prediction, CASP and AlphaFold (v1 and v2)    
  • Sameer Velankar, EMBL-EBI - AlphaFold Protein Structure Database

 

Day 1, Session 2

  • Randy John Read, Cambridge University - Quality of Protein Structures from experiments and simulations
  • Jonas Verhellen, University of Oslo (technical lead): Technical tutorial on how to use our implementations of AlphaFold v2.0 and RoseTTAFold:
  1. How to use the algorithms?                                                                                                                                
  2. Showcase of protein examples        
  3. Try your own candidates: Work hands on with coding. Work could be in groups or individually with tutoring.
