Protein Prediction of COVID19: Ab-Initio method

The biggest issue which the researchers working with COVID19 are facing right now is its ever changing sequence. The strains make it difficult to identify the potential drug. Sometimes it does happen that the identity percentage is less. How to determine/predict the 3D protein structure of COVID19 sequence. Ab-initio methods helps simulate the 3D structures. The literal meaning of the term ab-initio, it means ‘from the scratch’. Actually, ab-initio is one of the methods to predict a protein structure, which in case not available in protein data bank (PDB. This tutorial explains the prediction of protein structure using I-Tasser.
