Like cysteine, but with selenium instead of sulfur.
The weird one, not directly coded in the genetic code.

Ah, the jewel of computational physics.
Also known as an ab initio method: no experimental measurement is taken as input, QED is all you need.
But since QED is thought to fully describe all relevant aspects molecules, it could be called "the" ab initio method.
For one, if we were able to predict protein molecule interactions, our understanding of molecular biology technologies would be solved.
No more ultra expensive and complicated X-ray crystallography or cryogenic electron microscopy.
And the fact that quantum computers are one of the most promising advances to this field, is also very very exciting: Section "Quantum algorithm".

Git tips / Understand the commit tree Updated 2025-07-16
This is the most important thing to understand Git!
You must:
  • be able to visualize the commit tree
  • understand how each git command modifies the commit DAG

Autodidacticism Updated 2025-07-16
There are two types of people:
  • those who are autodidacts
  • those who didn't really learn
Some possible definitions:
  • learning without a gun pointed at your head
  • learning from an e-book or video rather than from a talking head 5 rows of chairs in front of you
    How that is different from a video, you tell me.
Option 1) git commit. Doh!!!
Option 2) git rebase. Basically allows you to do arbitrary modifications to the tree. The most important ones are:
