User:Emw/FoldIt

On May 9, 2008, the Baker lab publicly released Foldit, an online protein structure prediction game. The game gives users a set of controls (e.g. "shake", "wiggle", "rebuild") to manipulate the backbone and amino acid side chains of the target protein into more energetically favorable conformations. Users can work on solutions individually as "soloists" or in groups as "evolvers", accruing points under either category as they improve their structure predictions.
