This is the second episode in the AlphaFold series, originally recorded on February 14, 2022,
with <a href="https://ninjani.github.io/">Janani Durairaj</a>, a postdoctoral
researcher at the University of Basel.

Janani talks about how she used shape-mers and topic modelling to discover
classes of proteins assembled by AlphaFold 2 that were absent from the Protein
Data Bank (PDB).

 

 
 The bioinformatics discussion starts at 03:35.
