I work in cancer genetics and cannot express enough how important understanding protein structure is. DO THIS THING.

[@RAiNfORAiNbOW]

Can you give a quick overview of what we are actually doing with this computational power

[@WettPotatos]

@@RAiNfORAiNbOW basically just simulating the many potential folding paths of a protein, based on its amino acid sequence (and a few other things)

[@emilie6466]

JohnnyCacao Protein folding is a highly variable process. There is a huge complexity of variables involved in the shape of proteins, anything from: temperature, pH, structure, cofactors, ETC... The reason computing these shapes are important is because the exact shape is important for proteins to function, and depending on the protein their sensitivities to shape change will vary. By simulating protein folding, we can figure out what variables affect certain proteins the most. Once we find those out, we can develop a better understanding of the SARS2 Coronavirus binding and potentially antivirals that can be used to lower mortality rates and infectivity.

[@SlackWi]

@@RAiNfORAiNbOW I'm no expert on this exact process i just use the results, but proteins are long chains (up to many hundreds) of amino acids that take on particular, and highly complex, 3-dimensional shapes based on these amino acid sequences that are really hard to guess at without statistical models built by computers. A proteins shape determines its function and how it interacts with all the other cellular components. We have a fairly good idea of how many gene sequences there are, and therefore how many different proteins there could be, but have no clue how a lot of them function and how we can take advantage of them. By understanding a proteins 3D shape we can look for common patterns within them that we know have particular functions. For my work its really important to be able to know how particular gene mutations cause changes to the proteins shape by affecting its amino acid sequence and therefore its function. For example, we know that mutations in the protein KRAS are associated with activation of pathways involved in cell survival and growth in bowel cancers, but don't know exactly how, if we get a good idea of its exact 3D shape we can understand this better and possibly target it for treatment.

@@GandhiGunda They're benefiting so much that the bottleneck is on the server's side, not the clients.

Add in the lower levels of driving, and even with the potentially (with so many businesses closed it might not actually be this way) increased power draw, we're producing less waste because power plants are so much more efficient than a gasoline or diesel ICE vehicle.

Having so many people get added could actually be slowing down the research, because projects are getting taken by people with dinky computers (no offense to them).

If there are enough projects to go around without any downtime like there used to be, it's fine, but not anymore. Don't fold if there is a big wait and you have a put-put computer, you are literally holding up research.
