Day 7- More databases

Today we worked with Kirill. He was able to instruct us on more programs that can be used to view protein structures online. In addition to this, we were able to view some programs created by Dr. Thorpe and others through flexweb at http://flexweb.asu.edu/. This website allowed me to obtain a more visual understanding of protein bonds and flexible and rigid protein structures. My favorite program of the day was the 2D pebble game which allowed one to determine if structures were rigid or flexible.
