While protein folding calculations are useful, they can't be used as a foundation of PoW systems because there is no easy way to verify a solution.

- barkingcat 13y agoYes there is. It's the most easy way to verify - see if the protein matches with the problem receptor. It's pretty much black or white if something binds to a receptor. I think the perspective just needs to change. Maybe a little handheld "protein receptor match" kit that you plug your numbers into, and it will "make" your particle to try to match in a small lab kit that is portable.
- possibilistic 13y agoFirst you have to verify that the conformation of the protein is correct. What use is an improperly or incompletely folded protein with regard to ligand binding?
