Gamers curing AIDS!

I'm sure if you googled about this for a bit, there would be more information.

Yes! I can be a slob, AND feel altruistic now

Folding that one protein is a small, small, tiny step in eventually, POSSIBLY finding a cure for AIDs.

But yes, it's pretty cool that scientists were able to use Foldit to do the research through gamers.

Even if it is a tiny step...it's still helping.

I think this is really cool

You guys crazy?

Some Dr. Pepper and a few pizzas and I bet these guys could really do some damage to AIDS research. Ha! They are gamers after all...

That's indeed really neat. It's amazing how the human mind is so good at finding patterns and reason in an abstract "3D" space. I mean, those mega computers can do how many calculations every seconds? Talking in millions would probably be vastly understating it. And yet, humans are faster when it involves complex patterns and such.

unless the protein mutates and creates an "I am Legend" scenario!

then it is totally NOT helping...

You obviously didn't read the article. Or have never played Foldit.
