Rosetta@home or folding@home

I think YouStay@home is a far better plan.

This may be true, but while I am waiting for an animal to come by, my computer could be doing something useful

Here's a suggestion: learn to punctuate properly, you illiterate inbred.

Evidently llama man, this subject is out of the realm of someone of your ilk And by the way, punctuation is overrated happy Fathers' Day Uncle Dad

Sounds like a Raynod...

LOL @ you guys.

I would say folding@home,it's easy to use,easy to change,and is relatively simple to use - Except for the GPU client...Never heard of "rosetta@home" though *googles* meh,nothing really exciting.

I think this site must be full of ignorant people who have a need to be tough on the internet because of personal problems or failures..
Those two projects both study proteins, but they tackle the problem in two different ways:
while folding@home tries to determine the 3d structure of a protein, starting from it's amino-acid structure, moddeling how the folding occures millisecond by millisecond, which is very very tough from a calculus point of view, rosetta@home as well tries to determine this 3d structure starting from the aminoacid chain, but it randomly generates millions of shapes it can assume, and by evaluating the energy that would be necessary for it to assume that shape it can determine which one is the correct shape (lower the energy more similar it is to reality)

i hope you found some help in this reply, i personally run rosetta@home, so if you have any questions regarding it don't esitate to ask!

paolo32, thanks for your reply i run rosetta on my home network under team MATTFARM
