Ok so via wakoopa I discovered fold it. It’s a project by the University of Washington along with support from HHMI, DARPA, Microsoft and Adobe. The idea is cool. Apparently the rosetta@home project has had distributed computers working on folding proteins for a while, but there’s something missing with computers. The way computers crack the problem is by trying every possible combination one by one. There is no intuition. No instinct. No visual cues. It just keeps trying all the combinations until it clicks into one that works.
