This Is How Cancer Actually Starts #medical #education

Mutate an amino acid in PyMOL! I perform mutagenesis on my protein of interest in the lab and it’s really important for me to think about how my mutation impacts the function of my protein. I perform experiments in the lab to really test it but I also like to look at the structure to see what residues are nearby. Visualizing mutagenesis is a great tool! This tool can also be used to create nice figures for mutagenesis studies to highlight your findings! #pymol #phd #protein #science #mutation
