Bowman lab update on vision
Now we have over 1 millisecond of data for rhodopsin, a key signaling protein in vision. Â In the new year, we will be running more simulations to get better statistics…
Read moreRestriction of some GPU projects to pre-maxwell GPUs
Given some known driver issues with recent NVIDIA maxwell chips and Core18 ( Â https://www.reddit.com/r/foldingathome/ … l_support/Â ), we are temporarily restricting our core18 projects (e.g. 1047*) to use pre-maxwell GPUs.…

You may have noticed a trend in the type of proteins being simulated on Folding@home recently. A number of Folding@home labs are collaborating in an attempt to understand the role…
Read moreSurprisal Metrics for Quantifying Perturbed Conformational Dynamics in Markov State Models.
Markov state models (MSMs), which model conformational dynamics as a network of transitions between metastable states, have been increasingly used to model the thermodynamics and kinetics of biomolecules. In considering perturbations to molecular dynamics induced by sequence mutations, chemical modifications, or changes in external conditions, it is important to assess how transition rates change, independent of changes in metastable state definitions. Here, we present a surprisal metric to qu…
Read moreWhy is the new Folding@home streaming infrastructure (FSI) such a big deal?
One major benefit of the new Folding@home streaming infrastructure (FSI) over the previous FAH “classic” infrastructure (FCI) is that FSI is streaming. So we get clients running on a trajectory…
