Chakraborty’s Peppytides at-a-glance

PromitaChakraborty_Peppytide_NatlMakerFaire_2015_Courtesy_MakerMediaI invented Peppytides to study the dynamics of proteins and peptides. It is the first example of Physical Scientific Modeling.

  • Peppytides, as a tool for Protein Folding Problem in scientific research, can be measured with a tape after folding into various configurations.
  • Accurate physical models as scientific tools to measure and compute dynamics in macromolecules at nanoscale
  • An aid in exploring open scientific problems in structural biology
