Building peptides with defined primary and secondary structure

The goal of this tutorial is to show how to build peptides with any amino acid sequence and a well defined secondary structure, like for example the one in the picture above, using simple python commands. We'll show you how to do it by building a couple of different peptides:

• Example 1: A simple alpha helix made of 10 alanines.
• Example 2: A simple beta strand made of 10 alanines.
• Example 3: A more interesting peptide (several different aminoacids, two different secondary structures.

Then, we can get creative and add any weird atom you want to any peptide:

• Example 4: Add a gold atom to a peptide
• Example 5: Add CAPs to a peptide

The tutorial is constructed as a Jupyter notebook. You can see it here.
