Science Olympiad Protein Modeling Event Pre-Build Kit
The 2020-2021 Science Olympiad Modeling Event focuses on a modified CRISPR system that allows for correcting single base mutations in DNA. Teams will model a portion of the cytosine deaminase protein. This protein is used in conjunction with the CRISPR-Cas9 system to target a specific C-G base pair and convert it to a T-A base pair.
Pre-Build Kit materials can be reused for each event this season. The model is based on residues 31-145 of 5keg.pdb. Find the pre-build visualization environment and other resources to help sharpen your protein modeling skills on the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling's (CBM) website.
