this still doesn't explain how it helps that you know the lowest energy levels. somehow from the prediction of how molecules can connect you'll be able to cure cancer? HOW?! this video sucks as it tells absolutely nothing to the user. after watching my guess is that even seti has better chances of success than this. sorry, you need a PR manager

It doesn't help you being a dumbass either.

Rosetta's goal isn't to know the lowest energy levels, it's to accurately PREDICT the molecular shape of a protein w/o the laboratory hassle.

And if you passed High School biology, you would know that much of the protein's function depends solely on it's structure.

Well how does understanding quantum mechanics solve our energy problems?

Nice idea but how much of this research actually benefits ordinary people? As opposed to the pharmaceutical multinationals who manufacture expensive medicines beyond the price of most people?

Well, you could use R@H knowledge and invent your OWN medicine, and give it away for free. But that would not work for you, now would it?

Whether laboratories around the world charge too much or not, well we could ask the same whether the car industry charges too much or not for their cars.

R@H cares about the KNOWLEDGE. And as far as I know, the knowledge is free to use.

How on earth do you get it to display as they showed at 4:35? It's not a function of the boinc manager.

That's the screen saver. If you go to boinc manager, then to tasks, and select the running tasks, and option to the left will appear that says: "show graphics". Voila.

I like this. It is a nicely done promo. I got directed here from Autoimmunity. I actually work in Transplant Immunology at UT Southwestern.

Because you can use Rosetta @ home. (at home)
