Can we please follow the forum rules and focus the discussion on COVID-19 related research? I've been spending too much time away from more important duties for COVID-19 research having to monitor this thread.

I may have to lock this thread if it persists.

Does anyone know what "Junior HalfRoid vs COVID-19" in project name mean? I'm only getting WU names like that and it made me a little bit curious. Also one file mentions database and methyl.

These are Brian's scaffold designs for COVID-19. The database is the rosetta database and includes N-methylated amino acid rotamer libraries for designing cyclic peptides which can be therapeutics.

...long list of target proteins we're interested in for COVID-19 (some of which are COVID-19 itself).

I'm so confused. No idea what proteins you're talking. Would love to hear more details.
Covid-19 is the disease.
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus.
NSP1, NSP2, NSP3, NSP4, NSP5, NSP6, NSP7, NSP8, NSP9, NSP10, NSP12 NSP13, NSP14, NSP15 ,NSP16, S, ORF3a, E, M, ORF6, ORF7a, ORF8, N & ORF10 are the proteins.

Suspended most of my other projects for now when I heard about Rosetta doing work for the virus.

Tried to run the Folding app but seemed to not like my system too much.

Glad I can do something small for it.

Greetings from Queens, NY. Stay safe everyone.

Good! Spread the word so more people can join the fight against the virus with their PC!

My Android pixel 2xl is an arm64 device but it's not getting any Wu's. Something else I need to do?

I'm happy to see more WU coming through, with 5/8 labeled as COVID 19!

Just discovered that Rosetta@Home is helping out in this fight. Redirecting the entire fleet, as it were, to both Rosetta and Ralph now.

Asking my somewhat long-lost team members at Team-SciFi to also do the same.

Anyone need a team to crunch this for...? ;)

look for Team-SciFi over at Rosetta if so...

The Liver is EVIL. It must be PUNISHED!

Team-SciFi

For people running older MacOS machines that were not able to crunch 4.12 tasks (Covid ones).. They just released 4.15 and it appears to be running fine on older hardware again. Thanks to the Dev's for figuring out the problem.

Yup, if you want to use your GPU, Folding is a perfect choice.
Unluckily not every problem can be efficiently run on a GPU.

Sorry but need to ask serious question.

Should we now also be worried about hantavirus as cases in china popping up.

Also should this be looked into.

Hope not because incubation period is 8 weeks and symtoms to COVID-19 similar.

Very proud to be able to contribute in the fight against COVID-19.
I will do my best to support this project.
Infinite thanks to all human beings who are fighting this Pandemic on all fronts.

Thanks Rosetta@home.

The hantavirus is endemic to the Southwest U.S.
It is spread by rodents, and new cases pop up every few years.

I doubt it is a major problem just because there are a few cases in China, but you never know.

Dear all,

I‘ve got a question popping up in the back of my head, and I hope, you won‘t get me wrong.
As we‘re all enthusiastic to offer capacity, I think, we‘re all doing this with the intention to help worldwide in this case.
I‘m from Germany, and please excuse if I‘ll hurt someones feelings, but all of what I‘ve learned in my life so far prevents me from trusting Donald Trump in the slightest.
The servers for which we‘re currently working are located in the US, is that correct?
Is there something like a proof, that our contribution will be used to help ALL COUNTRIES, regardless of Trump‘s „America first“ promises?

This project was around long before Trump was president, and it will continue to be around long after he's gone.

I really hope so, but as long as he has the power, my question concerns me.

Most people here would leave if they thought Donald had anything to do with it.
But do what you want. There are plenty of others.

Indeed as an European, partecipating to a project in the epoch of "america first" is indeed concerning.

---

This is at a university. Any commercial application of the information developed here is down the road.
You can get concerned at some point I suppose, but this is much too basic a level for that.

EDIT: European companies can use the information developed here too of course. Getting them interested enough to spend the money on development will probably be the biggest hangup.
