You should know that we are not only interested in the "best" scores. We need the scores for the poor ones as well, which helps the scientists rule out certain candidates and may lead to a better understanding of why certain compounds bind well and others do not. In addition, sometimes the scores unexpectedly turn out to be the opposite of what the scientists expected. In these cases they learn the most about the whole process and how to improve it. So, all of the scores are equally important to us.
We would have to do a lot of extra work to accumulate such "best score" data by member. Furthermore, it might lead to people aborting what they think will be "poor" candidates in a competition to get the "best" score. This would slow down progress on the project and waste valuable CPU time. What we really need is competition to see how much each member can contribute overall. |

It's not the most, but only 10-14 members are currently sending each day. Vulture Central II team thread These stars in the box below are an at-a-glance indicator of points, but we have no icons for results. I've sent over 1,000 since July 31, 2005. The best docking number I've seen myself is -17. Even 0 is useful, since it indicates useless drugs that can be discarded.

 yea, all scores are good scores. All colours are needed to create a rainbow, even when you prefer one over the others. |
