I actually got banned from the Folding At Home Forums, can't quite remember what for now but I think it was for questioning their dictatorial attitude. If anybody goes there give my regards to Bruce, he's a lovely geezer

Haven't seen this one before, but it looks as if it would be interesting to try. I found a vid on good old YT.

I've downloaded Foldit to give it a try. There are 32 "training" puzzles to complete before moving on to the real ones. So far I've completed 10 of them, but am a bit stuck on 11... it keeps telling me that I'm "nearly there" just before my protein comes apart lol!

I shall keep trying in spare moments... anyone else having a go?

Eh? You have to take a test to do them a favour? Don't sound right to me.

Oh it really is more of a learning thing Flopps - one needs to learn how to tweak the proteins so that they fold properly. It's quite addicting in a way.... or is that just me.

They want to know if your IQ is good enough for them.

Me, I'm gonna go to the local autistic skool and ask them if they be interested ... I'll supply the PCs, cheap.
