Using Computer Modeling to Predict Protein Folding
In order to understand diseases like alseimers ormacular degeneration, scientists need to be able to predict how proteins will fold. The computer model can take these snapshots of what a protein typically looks like and simulate how the moving parts peraHow they talk to each other, and how they may function or malfunction. Think of it like crowd sourced computing power. Or even like a big player game.
