It brings together citizen scientists who volunteer to run simulations of protein dynamics on their personal computers. Insights from this data are helping scientists to better understand biology, and providing new opportunities for developing therapeutics. @@ebr @@Luke Sticky? Edited March 18, 2020 by Sammy 5
Sammy 786 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Update on the current status from Stanford University: Please be patient if you experience idle time as we face the COVID-19 pandemic together! We are working like mad to start simulations of COVID-19 proteins. The enthusiastic response to our effort has been tremendous and has sometimes emptied our queues. This is a great “problem” to have as there is no end to the valuable science we can do, its just a matter of giving us some time to get more running.
Sammy 786 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 In other words they've processed all the data they can right now and need to get more simulations set up.

MiltonRose 0 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 It would be very hilarious if in the end it turned out that everyone involved, instead of working for the good, was using it for mining) But not a bad idea for marketing in general for the company
Sammy 786 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 Do you not think the people behind this project would have something to say if their name was being used for bit mining?? Jeez.. https://foldingathome.org/

Sammy 786 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 It is this that made it possible to have a vaccine in less than a year where previously it would take several years, decades even.
roaku 836 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) The main reason the vaccine came quickly is that it turned out the preexisting mrna delivery mechanism was effective for covid19. Edited February 8, 2021 by roaku 2
Sammy 786 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 The background has been in research for 20 or 30 years for sure but where the rubber meets the road is in computational power to design the the mRNA for the specific need. http://techfinder.stanford.edu/technologies/S20-128_computer-designed-stable-mrna
