Chaps,
You may know cancer is a nasty disease....
There is a utility where you can help the fight for cancer by running it on your PC. http://www.grid.org/projects/cancer/
I have also created a Digital World Team, so you can join and get DW up there is the fight against Cancer.
The Team Name is Digital Worlds
You can join the team my logging in after you have installed the proggy.
The United Devices Cancer Research Project will advance research to uncover new cancer drugs through the combination of chemistry, computers, specialized software, and organizations and individuals who are committed to fighting cancer.
The research centers on proteins that have been determined to be a possible target for cancer therapy. Through a process called "virtual screening", special analysis software will identify molecules that interact with these proteins, and will determine which of the molecular candidates has a high likelihood of being developed into a drug. The process is similar to finding the right key to open a special lock — by looking at millions upon millions of molecular keys.
Participants in the United Devices Cancer Research Project are sent a ligand library over the Internet. Their PC will analyze the molecules using a docking software called LigandFit by Accelrys. The LigandFit software analyzes the molecular data by using a three-dimensional model to attempt to interact with a protein binding site. When a ligand docks successfully with a protein the resulting interaction is scored and the interactions that generate the highest scores are recorded and filed for further evaluation.
So please join this and help in the fight againts Cancer as we aint going to find any aliens are we......
