The project is about understanding how proteins in our body works, and it is going well, but the problem is that there is no software to let Mac users help. They need a programmer to make that software, and estimate that it would be a rather small job with help from the University. What makes it such a great challenge is its complexity, which renders simulations of folding extremely computationally demanding and difficult to understand. However, this method is extremely computationally demanding and we need your help.
Interested programmers can find more information at the project's Web site.
We don't have official numbers on that, but if you do, please let us know . In the meanwhile, this new project will be another great opportunity to show the scientific world how powerful the Mac is, especially once Mac OS X is being harnessed. If you can help out with their coding needs, and have the time to do so, please contact them. Distributed processing will become increasingly important in the future and it is important that the Mac have a place in these projects. Also, Mac Web Hosting 19.95 and Server Collocation 249.95.
