Using “Straightness” to Characterize Protein Secondary Structure
Working in collaboration with Andrew Hanson (Department of Computer Science,
University of Indiana), this student will explore the application of uaternions to the
study of protein and nucleic acid structure and folding. I’m looking for a student who is
either a double major in chemistry and either mathematics or computer
science, or a biology or chemistry major with a strong interest in mathematics, or a
mathematics or computer science major with an interest in applying mathematics to the
area of structural biology.
