I was wondering if there are any people here that fold at home. If you dont know what it is....
So basically it's a program that runs in the background(uses the spare CPU cylces) that helps scientists understand some of the worst diseases there are. I know CF has a team but nobody folds for it at all.
I'm starting my own team that will be part of a larger team(on another forum). If anybody wants to help out it would be greatly aprreciated. Just PM me if you are interested and I will give you links to where to download the program and how to set it up.
More details HereUnderstanding how proteins self-assemble ("protein folding") is a holy grail of modern molecular biophysics. What makes it such a great challenge is its complexity, which renders simulations of folding extremely computationally demanding, and difficult to understand. The Stanford group has developed a new way to simulate protein folding. However, this method is extremely computationally demanding and they need our help.
