A global view of FAH Mobile Client usage
People around the world are continuing to help advance research by downloading and running Folding@home mobile. Here is an image of the global usage distribution of our Mobile Client created…
Read moreSimulating protein dynamics to find binding-competent states
Mutation to the tumor-suppressor protein p53 is a common feature in most cancers. MDM2–a protein whose job it is to downregulate p53 via their direct binding interaction–has therefore become a…

We’re proud to announce the first full version of our Folding@Home client for Android Mobile phones.  This version is available to all Android Mobile phones with version 4.4 (Kitkat) and…
Read moreKinetic network models of tryptophan mutations in β-hairpins reveal the importance of non-native interactions.
We present an analysis of the most extensive explicit-solvent simulations of β-hairpins to date (9.4 ms in aggregate), with the aim of probing the effects of tryptophan mutations on folding. From molecular simulations of GB1 hairpin, trpzip4, trpzip5, and trpzip6 performed on Folding@home, Markov State Models (MSMs) were constructed using a unified set of metastable states, enabling objective comparison of folding mechanisms. MSM models display quantitative agreement with experimental structur…
