Protein Folding Game Will Cure Disease
These guys turned protein folding into a game for people to play. When you fold proteins you’re results go into a database that is used to create real cures to real diseases. It turns out that one human still has more computational power to perform this kind of problem than all the computers in the world . . . So if we get thousands of people to do this great stuff will happen.
You could probably teach 1st graders more about protein structures than most college students know if you just had them play this game for a while.
