#66 AlphaFold and shape-mers with Janani Durairaj

This is the second episode in the AlphaFold series, originally recorded on February 14, 2022, with Janani Durairaj , a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Basel. Janani talks about how she used shape-mers and topic modelling to discover classes of proteins assembled by AlphaFold 2 that were absent from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The bioinformatics discussion starts at 03:35. Links: A structural biology community assessment of AlphaFold2 applications (Mehmet Akdel, Douglas E. V.
