Thanks for the response. I will continue to run both my machines at maximum, plus my brother is adding three of his own computers. Hopefully this will expedite the error correction phase of the project.

I had read and re-read the research page probably three times and I still am having to let it all set into my brain. I probably only understand 10% of it, and I am a mechanical engineer with 20yrs experience.

What I did get from it though is that this project seems to be of a more generic protein modeling nature, i.e. it isn't specifically after modeling paired sites for the dysphorin protein, although they appear to be a part of it.

The dysphorin protein and others related to muscular dystrophy are approximately 200 proteins of the 2200(?) being looked at?
Far be it for me to question the researchers, but why is the protein range under investigation so large? Is it because they think all these proteins are related to muscular dystrophy?

Hello kismetix,
HCMD2 is only a small part of a massive French research drive against muscular dystrophy. HCMD2 is an attempt to understand some biological cycles involved with muscular dystrophy by mapping the interactions of their proteins in the cell.

In general, current science has reached a level in which a lot of cellular research is going on trying to understand protein interactions. HCMD2 is just one of many protein research projects. It is the only one I know of that concentrates on muscular dystrophy.
