I wonder how the lab experiments are going?
---------------------------------------- They arrived yesterday and they have been delivered to our collaborators here at Scripps for experimental assay. They will first be assayed against wild-type HIV protease. Subsequently they will be tested against a number of HIV protease mutants that are available. We anxiously await the first results from these assays. Art Olson Sep 14, 2006 3:04:47 PM [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 22, 2007 4:23:12 PM] |

Hello esoteric17,
The most recent update at http://pleiad.umdnj.edu/IBM/ is dated 1 Feb 2007. Lawrence |

Out of 150 years of total WCG processing FAAH only did just under 43 years today. We must be getting really close to the end of Experiment 5. At 43,400 years we will be at 29,000 years of processing since Phase 1 ended and close to the predicted end of "Phase 2" now labled as "experiments 2 through 5."

Hi Lawrence,
That link is for HDC, not FAAH. |

 I goofed. I do not have any recent information about FAAH. Lawrence |

hi
i did some calculations.. according to them, FAAH will end in less 104 days (depends highly on daily crunching). the reason I say less is this: gene comparison will end in around 27 days. soon after muscle dystrophy will end. at that point 2 project will give way for crunching to other projects. the cancer project, which according to the precentage stated in the posts, will end in 50 days (from now), so at that point it will be less than 20 days since now there is more crunching power availble to it. but also more crunching to FAAH. so instead of 50-70 days left for FAAH, the rate will probably increase by at least 50% thuse leaving around a month of crunching left (with hpf2 crunching to infinity..) in conclusion, consider my not so accurate computations are about close to correct in one month WCG wil start to get really intense. we have come to a time where most projects will finish, and a few project left to crunch, thus crunch rate increases per project. obviously there will be more projects and other parts to projects, but it makes me feel like the crunching wasn't for nothing hopefully it will help scientists do helpful stuff cya in 1 month (27 days!) |

I wonder if we have any updates from the Scientists as far as the laboratory experiments with compounds that were found in the previous stages of our crunching?
I remember there was an update from Dr. Olson that the most promising compounds were ordered from NCI to conduct "wet" experiments in the labs. |

Hello ZURP,
but also more crunching to FAAH. so instead of 50-70 days left for FAAH, the rate will probably increase by at least 50% thuse leaving around a month of crunching left (with hpf2 crunching to infinity..) I have decided to add some speculation about this. If you look at Statistics - By Projects you can see how many computer years are being devoted to each project each day by the server. The WCG staff have substantial control over this figure. The amount of computer time allocated to FightAIDS@Home has been dropping, not growing. Although nothing has been officially announced yet (which is why I call it speculation) I do know that the WCG is considering updating the AutoDock 4 program that we have been running to the latest version. This would let Scripps run some more phases taking advantage of the new features that have been added to AutoDock ( http://autodock.scripps.edu/ ) in the last year and a half, as announced on their website (? going gold in March 2007 ?). It would not make good sense to finish up the current phase of FightAIDS@Home, thank everybody who joined the WCG in order to crunch FightAIDS@Home, and then - - months later, after they left, suddenly reactivate FightAIDS@Home using the new, improved version of AutoDock for a new phase. So I think that we are reducing the work done on FAAH and speeding up the other projects so that we will not finish the current phase of FightAIDS@Home until we have the new version of AutoDock boarded for the grid. All this is just speculation on my part and is definitely not official. Lawrence |

If interested in the curvature of the projects and the FA@H in particular, these graphs get update semi regular. They depict what lawrence said.
