I am personally participating in Oxford University's computer based cancer drug treatment research, which is currently going on via a worldwide peer to peer network of over 3,000,000 individual computers. The initial project screened 3.5 billion drug-like molecules against 12 Cancer targets. Since then two more targets were added and the 1VJ9 Urokinase Plasminogen Activator B-Chain-Jt464 Complex protein has now been added. Pancreatic cancer targets are coming. Check here for semi-current news of this and related projects. I've been involved with this project since the end of May in 2001 and it's very worthwhile and pretty painless. We completed working on promising candidates for a treatment for Smallpox after infection on November 16, 2004. Currently there's no known treatment for Smallpox in that state. Also in progress is the ROSETTA Human Proteome Folding Project, which determines how proteins, coded by the human gene sequences, are most likely to fold. The knowledge gained will help scientists build the required understanding for the development of new treatments for diseases. Should you decide to undertake the research, after downloading and installing the agent (note that there's only a Windows based PC version, although some folks have been successful at running it under WINE emulation using Linux) and signing up, please consider joining Team USA or any other team of your choice.
