I

I'm a new Rosetta@home subscriber, and I'm wondering about how this work.

I understand the way the CPU's change datas, but I do not understand if it is possible to predict the 3D structure of my own protein sequence.

And If it is possible How can I do that?


Thank you for your attention

No, the protein sequences are a part of the work units assigned by the server. If you are a scientist, you may want to collaborate with Bakerlab. If you are just a very interested science buff, they are working towards an interactive game-like program that will let you control some of the folds performed and try different conformations. But I don't know if they plan to allow you to enter your own amino acid sequence.

When will we get this program?

Certian types of folks can get a copy of Rosetta. Here's a link to more information:

I haven't heard any dates thrown out yet. But it is something to look forward to.

Unfortunately, when I looked into it, it excluded...

... types.

I wanted to look at the technique from a non-biologists view. I believed then, and still believe now, that people with a different academic background may view the whole problem in a different way and see possibilities that biologists, with their biological "baggage" might never have thought of.

Thank you for your attention

Predicting protein structure is a very computationally intensive process, so it could be difficult on your own. Check out our web service for structure prediction here if you're interested:
