Today I was discussing with my friend Swakkhar Shatabda on the protein folding problem. Although I came to know about protein folding in one of my early courses, there is a lot more to explore.
Today, I got familiar with few metrics used to measure the distance between two conformations of protein - RMSD (Root Mean Square Deviation), cRMSD and dRMSD. One ppt file helped me understand it. I got this file from Standord University website.
I also learned about Gibbs Free Energy.
I really enjoyed the discussion between us!
