Quantum Biology
The primary focus appears to be on the analysis of amino acid sequences, specifically comparing the amino acid compositions of proteins across different species, and the prediction of intrinsically disordered regions using the IUPRED2 algorithm. The document includes information on amino acid counts, similarity scores, and comparisons within and across multiple protein families. The data presented includes the results of a protein comparison between humans and rats as well as comparisons of proteins within specific protein families using IUPRED2 scores to determine the similarity of intrinsically disordered regions.

We explore the use of quantum computing, particularly the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), for simulating molecular and protein behavior. It aims to overcome the limitations of classical computational methods especially for large molecules and disordered proteins. The studies leverage both quantum simulators and actual Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) to assess the feasibility and accuracy of quantum algorithms in predicting ground state energies and folding patterns.
