PART A: CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS

*Design a b-sheet motif that forms a well-ordered structure.*

3D Visualization of Beta Sheet Motif

Final tools used: PyMOL, DeepSeek

GIF below is generated by PyMOL after I ran the commands:

Step 1. Generated beta sheet PDB file (Custom Antiparallel β-Sheet PDB File)

Step 2. Imported the PDB file to PyMOL and created a 3D Image

Final Step 3. Used Wizards function to Enhance & Recorded Image in Motion

*Side note: Although I had the assistance of AI tools, it still took me several tries to be able to visualize the Beta Sheet Motif in PyMOL.

As part of the process creating the 3D structure, I received all kinds of errors in PyMOL due to things like incorrect PDB file format uploaded or inexplicit commands… 😄
