Check out this interesting new development at Rosetta@home:
As of last week the Rosetta@home software which participants run
on their computers also includes the functionality to fold
and determine the 3D structure of
RNA, in addition to its protein
folding and design capabilities. Here is some
background
info on RNA posted by project scientist Rhiju Das in the Rosetta@home forum.
Readers of the Betterhumans news section will know that RNA
plays an increasingly important roll in many areas of medical research
that are close to the heart of the Betterhumans community:
RNA In Aging Research
Restoring Mitochondrial Function
Gene
genius: Are scientists closing in on the holy grail?
Isn't it great to be able to participate in such cutting edge research
by simply running a program on your computer while you don't need it ?
