Compute with structures

 

To practice actual computations with structures we'll use the Grant lab's bio3d package in R.

Task:

• Open an RStudio session, and load the BCH441 project.
• Bring code and data resources up to date:
  • pull the most recent version of the project from GitHub
  • type init() to load the most recent files and functions.
• Study and work through the code in the BCH441_A05.R script.
• There are a number of questions in the code, it would be good if you don't gloss over them but try to answer them for yourself. Especially the questions about the final histogram: without interpretation, without learning something interesting about biology from the plot, all this is just Cargo Cult.
