I have wondered about folding@home as well, another distributed project begun in another age that seems not, from the outside, to have lived up to its early hype. In the meantime, it seems that Alphafold has surpassed conventional efforts at understanding protein folding, including folding@home's. https://moalquraishi.wordpress.com/2018/12/09/alphafold-casp13-what-just-happened/ https://moalquraishi.wordpress.com/2018/12/09/alphafold-casp...
- dekhn 7y agoThe two approaches aren't directly comparable. Alphafold predicts the optimum structure for a sequence, while folding@home explores protein dynamics (how a protein's structure changes over time).
