Where Can I Read Cindy Wu's Journal of Biological Chemistry Paper on Anthrax?
Cindy Wu's linked paper is Improvement of a Potential Anthrax Therapeutic by Computational Protein Design, from the Journal of Biological Chemistry: https://poster.jellypbc.com/@cindy/nslfku-improvement-of-a-potential-anthrax-therapeutic-by-computational-protein-design-2 She and her cofounder Denny joined an undergraduate team in iGEM, the synthetic-biology competition at MIT, on a U.S. Army grant. They used Foldit, the protein-folding game from the University of Washington, to swap amino acids in an anthrax protein. Of 87 models they tested in the lab, two worked. She says her younger brother, then 18, did most of the work and published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. That is what made her ask whether a PhD is required to do real science, and it led her toward Experiment.
