Hi everyone,

Thank you for your continued support! It has been truly wonderful.

I’ve been thinking about the problem of protein folding and so decided to tackle it here. I hope it’s useful to your understanding, if not of protein folding, of the current efforts to use deep neural networks to “crack the code.” I hope you enjoy.
