🔬 Biology	💻 Software	Notes
nucleotide	byte
genome	bytecode
translation	disassembly	3 byte wide instruction set with arbitrary "reading frames"
protein	function	a polyprotein is a function with multiple pieces
protein secondary structure	basic blocks	80% accuracy in prediction
protein tertiary structure		This seems like the hard one to predict: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0205819
quaternary structure	compiled function with inlining	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein%E2%80%93protein_interaction_prediction
gene	library	bacteria are statically linked, viruses are dynamically linked
transcription	loading
protein structure prediction	library identification
genome analysis	static analysis
molecular dynamics simulations of protein folding	dynamic analysis	Simulation doesn't seem to work yet. Constrained by tooling and compute.
no equivalent	execution	We are reverse engineering a CAD format. Runs more like FPGA code, all at once. No serial execution. (What are the FPGA reverse engineering tools?)
