Math and Destruction
Warning! You have entered the math dungeon. Many horrors and sleepless nights might meet you on your journey to the beauty of rational mathematical modelling and design of biological structures. But do not be afraid of the dangers of summation symbol or scary-looking partial integrations, o brave wanderer. We will guide you on your way through our models and ideas that originated from them.
You will enter two main dungeons: the kingdom of RNA operads and the land of 3DOC modelling. They may firstly seem completely different, but they both are governed under the same principle - compositionality. So let's give you a short overview of the things that will meet you on the way.
RNA operads. Here you will learn about 3 major things: why RNA design is amazing, why category theory is cool and why one can come up with the grand idea to combine both to create a reliable model for RNA structure design.
3DOC modelling Here you will encounter different ways of bringing different proteins or subunits together. Thereby you will face Rosetta and various strategies to model protein-protein and protein-linker interactions.
