Description

Hey there fellow Coding Trainers! :sweat_smile:

I've started studying a little bit of Bioinformatics and have thought of a good programming challenge; a simple protein structure prediction program. Essentially, this program can model the secondary, tertiary and/or quaternary protein structures using either WebGL (with p5.js) or OpenGL (with Processing). What got my attention to do this was a video by Siraj Raval in which he spoke about a competition earlier this year to help model COVID-19. In this video he demonstrated how to model the virus's proteins using Python. This has let me to wonder whether it can be done using the software that I'm most comfortable in using.

Here's an image of protein structures (copied link from Google):

Stay safe everyone, have a nice day and happy coding! :smile:
