do they ever modelize something we are crunching on ?
----------------------------------------do they promote worldwide networks of computers like WCG to discover new drugs .I hope so. We cud have more projects; and more crunchers in the general public I think we can feel sharing a little bit of that Nobel Prize  Cheers  |

Yes, they have something in common: One developed CHARMM, and that was used in The Clean Energy Project (Phase 1).
----------------------------------------It's also the algorithm used in Docking@Home. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Saenger at Oct 9, 2013 4:19:02 PM] |
