MOLECULAR MODELISATION
One of the main goals of our modeling work this year was to understand the structure of the curlin subunit protein, CsgA and it's behavior when engineered with a tag constituted of either six histidines (that we will call His1-tag from now on) or twice that motif (His2-tag), since such a peptide is known for its nickel chelation properties.
We then discussed over our results with the wetlab members to define a way to confirm the accuracy of our model, and so we were able to assess that, in accordance with litterature, the best position for the tag was by the C-terminus of the protein. We also determined that the His-tag was likely to take floating conformation instead of folding itself around CsgA.
