However, designing molecules that behave predictably is challenging. Building on software that simulates a molecule folding, our software outputs statistics and graphics about potentially interesting structures in a molecule&#8217;s folding pathway. Researchers can use this software to test and modify new designs until they fold as desired. Additionally, we have analyzed a theorized molecule and proposed modifications to its structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of British Columbia Computer Science, 2014-15 Liaison(s): Dr. Anne Condon Advisor(s): Elizabeth Sweedyk Students(s): Rachel Sherman (PM), Kennedy Agwamba [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140],"tags":[283],"class_list":["post-12288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computer-science","tag-university-of-british-columbia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12288\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
