Doe eens wat nuttigs met je computer

[Mullog 641]

Er zijn een aantal projecten waar je je computercapaciteit aan kunt "uitlenen" door lid te worden van de gemeenschap. Wat er dan gebeurt is dat processortijd die je niet gebruikt gevuld wordt met nuttige andere zaken. Je kunt zelf kiezen wat je nuttig vindt. 

Via BOINC ondersteun ik zo het project Rosetta@Home, waarvan je hier lid kunt worden om te helpen COVID-19 te bestrijden.

With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, R@h has been used to predict the structure of proteins important to the disease as well as to produce new, stable mini-proteins to be used as potential therapeutics and diagnostics, like the one displayed above which is bound to part of the COVID-19 spike protein.

To help our research, we are happy to announce a new application update, and thanks to the help from the Arm development community, including Rex St. John, Dmitry Moskalchuk, David Tischler, Lloyd Watts, and Sahaj Sarup, we are excited to also include the Linux-ARM platform. With this update we will continue to make protein binders to COVID-19 and related targets using the latest Rosetta source.

Thank you R@h volunteers for your continued support to this project. Your CPU hours are used not only to accurately model the structures of important proteins, but to design new ones as well. Let's band together and fight COVID-19!
