Anamnesis: The Beginning

This project shall serve as my endgame.
.
This idea of Anamnesis is simple:

  1. Reconstruct ancestral proteins from hundreds of millions of years ago, reconstruct their structures, simulate their molecular dynamics, and trace how mutations transformed their stability, flexibility, and function.

  2. Then extend the evolutionary framework to cancer: model how mutations reshape cellular dynamics and search for previously overlooked dynamical states that may make cancer cells unusually vulnerable.
    .

And as you can tell by the time I’ve logged this, I’ve already started working on the basics, that is, I’m still a newbie at biology, and need to learn quite a few things while building it.
.
Either way, the program can now read the protein, its data and its individual amino acids while knowing which letter corresponds to which amino acid…
.
A weird incident, that is, I literally wrote my own parser start to end, to read the data related to protein,, only to then realize I could’ve used Biopython instead…. (genius Ik 🥀)
.
But yeah,, I’ll try to develop the project as fast as I can while learning the biology underneath it (a rare moment in life where you genuinely feel thankful for naturally being a really quick learner).
.
Soo… that’s it for today?
Have a great evening..! 🕯️
