DESCRIPTION:Understanding protein structure is essential for researchers in
  molecular biology\, bioinformatics\, and structural biology\, as it under
 pins insights into function\, interaction\, and disease mechanisms. This t
 wo-day training is designed for early-career researchers\, PhD students\, 
 and postdocs who are new to protein structure analysis. Participants will
  gain hands-on experience with key tools and databases\, including Chimera
 X\, AlphaFoldDB\, and MutateX. They will use these tools to visualize\, ex
 plore\, and compare protein structures\, and to design new ones. The cour
 se also introduces structure prediction methods using both online platform
 s (AlphaFold3\, Chai-1) and our local VSC infrastructure (AlphaFold2\, Bol
 tz-1). Furthermore\, we will use AlphaPulldown\, a Python package that str
 eamlines protein-protein interaction screens. On the second day\, partici
 pants will apply these tools to their research questions\, with guided sup
 port. By the end of the training\, attendees will be equipped to independe
 ntly access\, analyze\, and interpret protein structural data using state-
 of-the-art resources.
