Biochemistry

Measure how sweeteners change yeast fermentation kinetics and build real data on gas evolution, controls, and biological response.

Design a custom binder for a viral surface protein, then rank candidates with RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, and AlphaFold-Multimer.

Measure how salt changes egg-white protein stability with smartphone turbidity, then fit a two-state model to estimate unfolding energy.

Build an AI benchmark that scores enzyme-inhibition experiment plans, then compare model output with expert mentor designs.

Analyze kombucha fermentation data to test how climate and region shift acidity, pH, and color, and build real data analysis skills.

Test whether kombucha antioxidant gains still hold after publication bias checks and small-study corrections using a simple meta-analysis.

Build a drug repurposing project by screening FDA-approved compounds, comparing docking scores, and testing which hits stay stable in simulation.

Compare spike RBD variants with AlphaFold-Multimer and interface energetics to see how mutations can change ACE2 binding.

Test how tea polyphenols change SCOBY acid output with pH and titration data, then compare which tea inputs shift fermentation most.

Build a paper sensor and smartphone assay to measure bisphenol-like leaching from sunlight-exposed bottled water with fluorescence quenching.
