Folding Forum

I think the 'viewer' only shows an anonymous simulated protein, right?

Can I know/see which particular protein my computers are working on?

Or any particular protein, whether being worked on or not?

With a key as to what the parts in the model are (excuse my ignorance) what atom, what molecule, what whatever?

Like any more specific detail, too, such as, possibly, the intensity of possible attractive forces here and there?

And are these 'new' techniques being employed in our folding ? http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/prot ... -0322.html

That is no longer the case most of the time. The current and recent versions of the viewer does show the protein being worked on for most WU's. This has not always been the case during the development of the V7 client. The data needed to display the protein is not available from all folding cores and it is not available until there's some folding process on the active WU.

I came across a guide to which color is used for each atom, but can not locate it at the moment.

So the protein I see is the one being worked on by my machine?
That's good as far as it goes.
But all I know about it is that it is project 2974. I would like to know much more if possible.
It is a wonderful opportunity to get people interested in and informed about protein chemistry... it's got me interested...

In the viewer, you have to see the Protein value under Status in the bottom left corner. Live means that it is the actual protein that is being worked on. Demo means that it is a generic protein that is being shown.

For more information, you can access it via the F@H V7 interface. You will have to tell us what version number you are using so that we can give you the exact steps. In the mean time, here is the link to the Project description -> http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/fah ... ned?p=2974
