If you are working in distributed computing and need to build / be motivated on the usage of distributed computing - just make sure you are aware of Folding@home Fold is a brilliant concept which caught a lot of attention during the covid19 phase. Mainly for protein folding.

Thanks to everyone Folding@home for helping generate this! For reference, a good paper in our field may have 10 microseconds of data. So 2.1 milliseconds of data is like having 210 papers worth of data. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

This cryptic pocket has a function! The VP35 protein from Ebola virus performs multiple functions. We wanted to know if it toggles between different conformations that are responsible for different functions. It does! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Its always fun to see how natural selection uses everything at its disposal, including rare protein structures that are hard to even detect. Even when this cryptic pocket is only open ~2% of the time, its still performing an important function.

Woohoo, our paper on the mechanism of a G protein inhibitor that is specific to one family of G proteins is out! Nice collab with the Blumer nad ASoranno labs pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
