HP-Folding

A CTB project investigating about protein folding (team website: http://ejm.chinathinksbig.org/)

Website

https://hp-folding.firebaseapp.com

For the techs

This project is made all with React. If you know what you're doing and want to tweak the code at home, you'll need git and npm.

git clone https://github.com/3D-Circle/in-fold-we-trust.git
cd in-fold-we-trust/in-fold-we-trust
npm install
npm run start

Then visit localhost:3000 in your browser if the window hasn't already been opened.

in-fold-we-trust's Issues

Write the explanation

Mathematical explanation + info on alogrithms etc etc

Random errors thrown while folding

TODO:

• isolate the issue
• well, fix the issue

Make good CSS

doesn't look great right now

Add some user-friendly / interactive features

• custom chain input
• undo - should be easy, just store a list of the previous aminoCoordMap
• randomizer instead of flat chain to make the game harder
• make some preconfigured chains with stored best score - so that the user knows whether his config is the best

Make some style choices

Choosing is hard.

• favicon
• HP colors for the AA

Competitive system with number of moves

We could implement a leaderboard for the fewest moves for each level, using the firebase datase API.

Improve explanation

• Explanation for upper bound
• Formal definition of the 2D HP square lattice
• Explanation for -

Energy scoring function

Translate to chinese

For a bigger audience

Implement an approximation algorithm

Would be nice to implement the one presented by Demaine
