不好意思,前面说错了,目前的4.77版计算程序(上周末就已经发布)已经修复了之前的几个比较大的问题,欢迎大家试用~~
补充两篇官方论坛上的Q&A:
What IS the difference between Predictor@home and Rosetta@home?
Both projects are similar in that both are trying to improve methods for protein structure prediction. Rosetta@home includes protein design and prediction of complexes. Rosetta@home uses a software package called Rosetta, which has been proven to be one of the best methods out there for protein structure prediction in repeated CASP experiments (See our About page). Rosetta is also being used for the Human Proteome Folding Project, which is trying to predict folds for many proteins in the human genome. While they, in collaboration with us, are applying Rosetta to the human genome and other genomes like malaria (P falciparum), we are trying to conduct research to make it better. David Baker's work has been published in today's issue of Science. It is exciting work. Thank you for your interest in helping our and similar projects, like Predictor@home!!!
What is the difference between this project and other protein folding projects?
There are a number of distributed computing projects like this one, with the goal of predicting protein structures given an amino acid sequence. In fact, there is a very large effort that is using our software, Rosetta, as the core application (the Human Proteome Folding Project). All of the projects will benefit our understanding of protein folding and application to biology and medicine. Our project is similar to Predictor@home, in that we are trying to improve our methods by conducting research that is only possible with the computing power that a grid computing project can provide.
