road-runner Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 We have been able to fold several proteins into the 1.5 millisecond time range with experimental validation of our folding kinetics. This is a timescale a thousand times longer than any previous atomic-level simulation, and represents a fundamental advance over previous work. We are now simulating important proteins used in structural biology studies of folding as well as proteins involved in disease.

Prunes Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Awesome to see that we are actually making a difference. To be able to rid the world of Alzheimer's would be amazing. I don't think cancer will ever be conquered (sorry for being pessimistic), but if we can slow the spread or reduce it or something then all my folding hours will be well worth it!
