Protein Folding

Explore the role of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions in protein folding. Generate a random peptide string and watch how it folds in an aqueous environment. Change the solvent to see what happens if the peptide is in an oily environment or a vacuum instead of an aqueous environment.
