Protein Sonification

Protein Sonification is the conversion of Amino Acid chains into musical notes using molecular weights and resonance frequencies. After the conversion, the resulting sequence of notes are used as the melody of the composition where rhythm and harmony are constructed around it. The initial protein analysis steps require the usage of multiple programs like Uniprot, PubMed Proteome Analysis, GPMAW, & Python.

Rubatosome

This was a project we presented at the MIT Global Community Bio Summit as part of a workshop detailing the inner wokings of how Protein Sonification works. Here we used a Fucosyl-transferase protein as our template.

Exonuclease

For this project we used a Bacterial Exonuclease as our template protein and used varying instrumentation to achieve the sound we were looking for. This music video was submitted as a submission to the 2020 Agar Art Contest where we placed in the Finalist Category.
