Preliminary Program
May 30th, 2022
14:00-18:00 Practical tutorial: "Protein engineering tools: FoldX "
Javier Delgado and Damiano Cianferoni | Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)
The goal of the tutorial is to provide P4EU members with a short training on one of the most used protein engineering software, released in 2005 FoldX established as a standard tool for measuring the effect of point mutations and is now being expanded into ModelX as a general protein design tool-suite. During this tutorial, we will focus on the pillars of foldX, looking both at theoretical and practical aspects, having the opportunity to learn the best use of the software directly from the creators.
