Last modified: 17 Sep 2005, 0:38:24 UTC How does Rosetta@home differ from Folding@Home and the World Community grid's human proteome project? Folding@home studies the process of folding using molecular dynamics. Distributed computing is allowing them to do simulations at time scales (milliseconds) that are not possible without thousands of computers. We, on the other hand, are doing protein fold predictions and design, including protein complexes. The WCG project is applying our Rosetta software to the human genome and other genomes, in collaboration with our group. We are trying to improve the software (focusing on research, development, and testing). For example, what we learn through our project may help the WCG in their next phase for high-resolution structure prediction. ID: 24 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
