Projects 7600, 7610, and 7611 have been released to full Folding@home

Here are some brief summaries (teasers!) of the science (see psummary page for more detail):
7600 - Simulations of the folding of the knottin protein EETI, which has been recently engineered at Stanford to perform as a cancer imaging agent - ie it makes tumors light up in medical scans
7610 & 7611 - Simulations of the FiP35 WW domain. These simulations are being performed to compare distributed computing simulations (FAH) to new methods developed by DE Shaw Research. Specifically, DE Shaw has a new supercomputer ANTON that can run simulations very quickly, allowing them to produce simulations that are on the length scale of protein folding. This provides a new test for some of the methods we've developed using simulations from FAH (though I should note that FAH is still more powerful than even the most powerful super computer!)
