So we have HPF2, Rosetta@home, Folding@home, Predictor@home, Tanpaku, and now Proteins@home?
----------------------------------------I know Folding@home is more interested in the dynamics of protein folding (and how proteins mis-fold) rather than predicting tertiary structures from sequences. Rosetta@home, Predictor@home, and Tanpaku are all interested in predicting structure from sequence, but with different algorithms (Rosetta using energy functions, Predictor using Monte Carlo methods, and Tanpaku using "Brownian Dynamics"). This project appears to be slightly different (predicting all possible amino acid sequences for a given fold?) I don't know any French, so I have no idea what the technical PDF says. http://biology.polytechnique.fr/proteinsathome/proteinsathome/documentation.php http://biology.polytechnique.fr/proteinsathom...athome/proteinsAThome.pdf [Edit 4 times, last edit by Former Member at Oct 24, 2006 2:28:43 PM] |

It seems as though crunching there is Invite only... I wasn't invited therefore couldn't attach... How stuffy of them...

They're still in alpha testing. I'm sure they'll open it up once it's working more reliably.
Folding is a popular subject for grid computing. It's a difficult problem that finally has a computational solution. Expect to see yet more folding projects, including here at WCG. |
