No Descriptions

Hello,

My last two WU have contained no descriptions of any kind at all. I always check and read the descriptions of the projects that my WU's are associated with so I find it highly disappointing to see no information given.

I find my enthusiasm for folding is greatly diminished when my computer has its CPU nailed up to 100% and I have no idea what it is for.

It seems you're not alone: viewtopic.php?f=88&t=25219

You can always check the project number in the Project Summary, which is linked at the top of the forums.

Project 10145

Error: A description for this project does not yet exist.

Hopefully someone can notify the appropriate PG member about this.

My understanding is that a number of project descriptions need to be re-entered on the server to work properly with the web site after all of the changes made earlier this year. Hopefully that will include this project soon. In the meantime, from the posting announcing the beta test of a group that includes 10145:
These projects aim to elucidate the dynamics of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). This protein is a drug target for diseases like cancer and antibiotic resistance. Therefore, there has been extensive experimental work on this protein to test new simulation approaches against. Moreover, our understanding of how this protein works is still incomplete, so we hope to gain deeper insight that will facilitate rational control of DHFR’s activity.
The projects were moved to full FAH as of Oct. 21 - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14714&start=180#p250576.
