Folding for Android

In collaboration with Sony, we brought Folding@home to Sony Mobile phones. During the months that followed the mobile application was made available with broader Android support.

Kinetic 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…
