Is there a way of finding out some information regarding the protein on which my machine is working?

Absolutely there is.

First you have to go to the BOINC manager and get the protein's identifier... I currently have a unit called

ALL_TOPOLOGY_CODES_1vcc_434_295_0

The protein's identifier is 1vcc. Then you can go to the Protein Data Bank and enter in the ID (in the search at the top).

You'll then get a page (like this) which has the protein's name, what species it's from, what kind of protein it is (mine's a topoisomerase!!) and which paper published the crystal structure (or NMR structure).

Hope that helps!

Many thanks indeed for your very rapid response.

This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for.

Again thanks my friend and good luck!

No problem Larry... Predictor has that site linked up somewhere, so that's how I found it originally.

But now I have a question for everyone out there... I now have a unit called

7521_largescale_large_fullatom_relax_dec7521_1_39_1.pdb_437_45_0

How do I find out the protein ID on this sucker??

Any ideas?
