I've written a page (which was empty, a "stub" until today) about HPF at Wikipedia, the free Internet encyclopedia, a widely referenced information resource.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Proteome_Folding_Project I've re-used material from WCG's website and forums and content I had collected for my How-To: Join Distributed Computing projects that benefit humanity page. It still needs some formatting and adding a few images as "placeholders" here and there and better structure, so if anyone has time, feel free to join. |

Thanks, dhatz.
I edited it a little to change 80 genomes to 90 genomes, as per rbonneau's recent updates. Also, I gave an estimated completion date for Phase 1 of April 2006. Lawrence |

Dr. Baker has just posted an update on Rosetta and looks like the 1% bug problem has been fixed.
http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=1177 I am guessing that HPF2 should be ready to roll soon?. |

No, the 'leave in memory when preempted' bug has been identified. BOINC needs to use TerminateProcess() rather than the Exit() in the application. So we will need an updated BOINC version. The 1% bug has not been tracked down yet, but they have made a number of changes that will help track it down (and help with debugging in general).

Calling the atention of dhatz and other fellow crunchers. In your fine Wikipedia article dhatz, you are of course refering to ISB and the page http://www.systemsbiology.org/Scientists_and_..._Proteome_Folding_Project. The bad thing is: There is a printers error on that page. In the lowermost illustration of the page the chemical formula of glutamine is precisely identical with that of asparagine which according to what other sources have told me, is the correct one, while a CH2 or methylene group must be inserted to make the formula correct for glutamine.

Have you informed ISB directly?
The chances of the good doctor spotting your post here is fairly small. (It's a shockingly bad image anyway - have you looked at the pdf? *boggle*) |

A week and a half ago I sent an E-mail to the webmaster of ISB since that is where they ask scientific questions to be sent. It was not accepted, and I got it returned. Yes I first discovered it in the pdf. I doubt this mistake has got into the program which should be evident by the fact that I've gone on crunching.
Yours sincerely, John Wood chopper |

Yes, we're beta testing it now. The IBM guys have given me a screenshot of the client and it looks nice. The graphics arn't essential to the project BUT it is a good experience when you see it look good.
We've got the new work units rolling off the pre-grid steps and everything looks set to pop. I'm currently working on the content for the pages explaining what exactly is different about HPF2 (a lot). Thanks again for the wikipedia page ... the project is distributed and now so is the explanation of the project. |

good catch. The real point of the figure was to inform the general public about what amino acids are. I guess I never looked to closely at it before ...
for the real structure of GLN : http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/chemistry/bio/amino-acids_en.html I think it is a minor error and for now am going to keep working on HPF2 stuff, the deadlines for which we are aproaching. Also I'm not at the ISB anymore, so I'll have to call them up and see how to change the file (i don't have permisions anymore)... The new material on my NYU and the IBM site will be accurate (scientifically but not textually  ). I assure you that I know the structure of GLN and that it is correct in the Rosetta code and the Grid-client. in any case thanks again for you attention to detail. ... after 1+ year your the first to find an error.  |
