Introduction to Protein Structure Analysis

This training session will provide the basics of protein structure determination and how this information is stored in databases. We will explore and search in online databases containing protein structure information. With the aid of the Yasara View program we will visualize the structure. Different hands-on exercises will allow you to compare the structure of homologues, to predict a structural model of proteins (without any structure information) and to find homologous structures. We will use online tools to quantify various interactions in the structures.
## Objectives
* Get to know the data generated from protein structure determination experiments (high-resolution NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, ...) and where to get it.
* Display protein structure data and compare structures, through the use of Yasara.
* Create high-quality graphical representations of the structures.
* Calculate the effect of mutations on the stability of your protein.

*DE-Sim* is an open-source, Python-based object-oriented discrete-event simulation (DES) tool that makes it easy to use large, heterogeneous datasets and high-level data science tools such as [NumPy](https://numpy.org/), [Scipy](https://scipy.org/scipylib/index.html), [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/), and [SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/) to build and simulate complex computational models. Similar to [Simula](http://www.simula67.info/), *DE-Sim* models are implemented by defining logical process objects which read the values of a set of shared variables and schedule events to modify their values at discrete instants in time.
This website provides examples, tutorials, and documentation for *DE-Sim*.

BioSimulations is a web application for sharing and re-using biomodels, simulations, and visualizations of simulations results. BioSimulations supports a wide range of modeling frameworks (e.g., kinetic, constraint-based, and logical modeling), model formats (e.g., BNGL, CellML, SBML), and simulation tools (e.g., COPASI, libRoadRunner/tellurium, NFSim, VCell). BioSimulations aims to help researchers discover published models that might be useful for their research and quickly try them via a simple web-based interface.
