FAH is enabling AI developments
With all the advances happening in artificial intelligence (AI), itâs natural to ask if one could develop an algorithm that predicts protein dynamics with far less computer time than running…

Read moreLast week we had a really nice meeting in Madison, WI on combining simulations and machine learning to understand protein dynamics. This meeting was hosted through CECAM (Centre EuropĂ©en de…
Read moreEarly during the COVID-19 pandemic, our simulations of the coronavirus spike protein led us to predict that it opens up far more widely than previously thought. This opening reveals âcrypticâ…
Read moreAbout 2,300,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Of these, approximately 70,000 have mutations in the breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1), which encodes the BRCA1 protein. BRCA1 plays…
Read morePlease join us as we Stand Up for Science in cities across the US on Friday March 7. You can find more details on the main event in Washington DC…
Read moreIf you haven’t already, we invite you to check out the latest release of the Folding@home client (v8.4.9)! This version makes it much easier to create and join teams. You…
Read moreThanks to everyone who participated in Folding@home this past year, and happy new year to you and yours! With your help, we’ve made a lot of progress towards understanding biology…
Read moreThere has been growing interest in developing drugs that bind two or more proteins to âglueâ them together. Tacrolimus (aka FK506) is a famous example. Â Tacrolimus is an immune-suppressant that…
Read morePeptides are short proteins. For proteins, one typically envisions a long chain of amino acids that has folded up on itself to form a compact blob that is capable of…
Read moreOne of the Bowman labâs major foci is on finding and targeting cryptic pockets. Cryptic pockets are absent in experimentally derived structures of what a protein typically looks like but…
