Re: Welcome to the Global Online Fight Against Malaria project

Can the project scientists/WCG techs just confirm, that this is actually the project that, earlier on, was given the possible title of 'AutoDocking Molecules to Fight Malaria' (AMFM)?

Re: Welcome to the Global Online Fight Against Malaria project

Welcome back, Dr. Perryman. We are going to have to get you your own coffee mug at the WCG coffee station. biggrin
This looks to be another excellent project from Scripps. So far the 68 wu's I have running are doing nicely and the project requirements are minimal.
Best wishes and continued success at Scripps!
peace

Re: Welcome to the Global Online Fight Against Malaria project

The below excerpt from the "About the Project" will cause a few nervous badge twitches. Very nice to see the suggestion by one of the crunching members being turned into application:
The first phase of the project will computationally evaluate the potential potency of millions of compounds using the new software AutoDock Vina. The second phase of the project will computationally re-evaluate the potency of the same compounds using the program AutoDock4.2. These two different types of docking programs each use different algorithms when searching for the location where a compound binds and when predicting the detailed mode it uses to bind to that location of the protein target, and they both use different "scoring functions" to evaluate the potency of the binding mode they predicted. Since no computational tools are perfectly accurate, harvesting compounds that score well with multiple different types of computational tools can increase the probability of discovering promising new compounds.


Forward On.

Re: Welcome to the Global Online Fight Against Malaria project

Good to see another project added as we get close to finishing off HCC HFCC and HCMD

Re: Welcome to the Global Online Fight Against Malaria project

Hi, thanks for new project. What about estimated time or workunits of this project? Can you describe naming, please?

Re: Welcome to the Global Online Fight Against Malaria project

Same as in Beta, they seem to be running much quicker, but then the variability as with DSFL was during said Beta to be quite significant. The few done now have taken 3.5 hours compared to the 5-6 hours that the present DSFL take on same rig.

Naming of results... except for the gibberish (to me), the latter part suggests, batches and result number within the batch.

World Community Grid 6.08 gfam GFAM_x1df7_TBdhfrDry_0000226_0188_1 03:14:15 (03:10:42) 14-11-2011 20:18 14-11-2011 20:18

Dr Perryman mentioned in his introduction the concept of *experiments* as what he's doing with FAAH. He foretold the same update service, i.e. the place will tell what and how many, but this project seems to have gone through a rapid deployment phase i.e. not everything is in place yet. Give it a little time.

Re: Welcome to the Global Online Fight Against Malaria project

Delighted to be crunching for this and DSFL - particularly happy to see malaria back in my targets.
