From there to here• Week 3: How DNA can ‘mean’

anything; how it can pass that meaning on (replication)

• Week 4: How DNA can send out a ‘message’ (transcription); how that ‘message’ can be ‘translated’ into amino acids

• Now: How a string of amino acids is formed into a functional shape

What matters today?• How do we go from the ‘ticker tape’ of an mRNA to a

machine?

• machine = 3D object that does stuff

• Who shapes proteins into their shapes? Terminology: ‘folding’

• How specific amino acids and protein shapes give rise to operational machines that perform body tasks

Ooey gooey rich & chewy inside...

• Protein folding, oil not mixing with water, and membrane formation all reflect the same principle

• In protein folding, the constraint is that the individual units are all attached to a pair of neighbors

• Many proteins need no further ‘instruction’ than their sequence & water to correctly assume their superhero identity

Profolder features• Destinations (lower right) => Folding

• Top: amino acid string

• Squares: places amino acids could go. Note ‘Undo last’ button

• Two spots--use one to improve upon what you did in the other

• Bottom: note that when you mouseOver an amino acid, it’s structure & ‘feel’ are shown
