Hi
I am new to this forum.
I heard that fodling@home has implemented the protein folding prediction?
what algorithm are you using and is your algorithm working using GPUs?
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks
protein folding algorithm?

Re: protein folding algorithm?
Hello maya, welcome to the folding forum.
Folding@home has done very well in contests for the accuracy of their protein folding simulations.
And yes, there is a GPU client for FAH, on both AMD and NV hardware.
As for the algorithm, they are likely using more than one. See gromacs.org for more info. They also use other simulations, like AMBER. There may be something about that in one of the many papers published by the project. http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Papers There is a lot of info in the FAQs on the project web site also.

How to provide enough information to get helpful support

Re: protein folding algorithm?
The CPU cores are mostly based on Gromacs software : http://www.gromacs.org/
The GPU cores, after using Gromacs are now using the OpenMM software : https://simtk.org/home/openmm
