Alvar56/README.md

Biotechnologist (MSc, BOKU Vienna) working where the bench meets the computer: I clone, transform, grow and image plants, and I use structural bioinformatics to decide what is worth testing. Before research I worked in food-safety quality control.

Protein structures rendered with ChimeraX: CCR5 with maraviroc, ATG12–ATG5–ATG16, a cellulose synthase trimer and Salmonella flagellin

What's here

Project What it shows
bioinformatics-analyses Reproducible Python analyses on PDB, AlphaFold and UniProt data: AlphaFold vs crystal structure for CCR5, which structures can stand in for Arabidopsis CESA6, AlphaFold confidence across the ATG8 conjugation machinery, and ISO 7218 / MPN calculations for food microbiology. Tested with pytest and CI.
structure-renders A ChimeraX + Python pipeline that turns PDB entries into a consistent series of publication-style figures: one recipe per protein, one house style.
tonoplast-scenes Python-scripted Blender + Molecular Nodes scenes of the plant vacuole membrane: the V-ATPase in a lipid bilayer with ATG12–ATG5–ATG16 complexes, as a seamless loop.
german-trainer Deutsch mit Felix, the React app I built to learn German: generated grammar exercises, spaced repetition, vocabulary import and an offline Android build.
alvar56.github.io My portfolio: a static site whose hero is a canvas garden of Arabidopsis and N. benthamiana that reacts to the cursor.
