Full article here
Thoughts on this? I find it amusing that a bunch of gamers who know nothing of biochemical engineering did more than people who do! I hope that one day I can see AIDS wiped out completely and this only brings us one step closer. |

Oh snap, I saw this article! Definitely makes me happy to see this disease having progress made against it. It would make my friends who have that so happy to finally have some kind of cure. | |||

Who says that Gamers never do anything for society, eh? This is seriously awesome. | |||

What really makes me happy about this, aside from the potential AIDS cure, is that I have this long-standing plan of assembling various scientists for whenever I can achieve my dream of becoming a game design superpower. Helping the world through video games is like being a ninja and messing with everyone's brain. I love it. | |||

What happened when you tried to make the thread, Bitmap?
Also... what other mysteries can gamers help to solve? Maybe they should put US on the Higgs-Bosen team, lol! |

Well, we already know the cure for cancer. After AIDS, there's not much left to solve other than whether or not the faster-than-light-speed thing is true. D: | |||

Well, don't discount the fact that AIDS could easily mutate to require a different cure after finding this one out. That's what makes pathology difficult. | |||

Originally posted by Elara I'm working on it now. Well, it might not be posted until Sunday when I am done partying and drinking. E- You won't believe this. But I have a word.doc of every major thread I make to make sure my punctuation and spelling is top notch and also neat for everyone to read. IM RETARDED Also;
Things like Cancer, Diabetes, tumors, and every other form of illness out there on the face of the planet. This technology only borrows your computer power so you can help science fold simple proteins. That's basically it. If you own a PS3 or a computer. You too can help fight against this by soending your sleeping nights running your console / computer in folding a program that helps fight the good fight. Im with the Goons and I have been using my PS3 to help do this for over two years now. But I am going to switch teams to this community so that your (You) computer helps fight the good fight and maybe we can stand out on top. Also, you get points for helping! Everyone likes points! ...I'll make the thread next week. (Last edited by Bitmap on 09-24-11 05:42 AM) |

Everyone loves earning achievements in games, but what if that achievement was solving a decade-old puzzle that confused AIDS researchers for years? The treatment of HIV and AIDS has been fundamentally the same since 1996. The identical drugs on essentially the same routines are recommended. One of the primary difficulties for researchers has been untangling how the enzymes of the virus work and interact. Using a game called "Foldit", players have deciphered the crystal structure of protein that causes AIDS in rhesus monkeys. It had confused scientist for several years, but took gamers about 3 weeks to solve. Indeed, what a remarkable achievement! | |||

Bumping a 3 year old thread and basically restating the information? Tsk tsk. |
