Research: CANCER Folding Project #12494

Project #12494 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project uses computer simulations to figure out how well drugs bind to their targets. Users can submit ideas for these simulations, and powerful computers do the calculations. This helps researchers find new and better drugs.

Official Project Description

These projects are relative binding free energy calculations orchestrated via alchemiscale.org.

Networks of alchemical transformations are submitted by alchemiscale users, and transformations that can be performed by Folding@Home are executed via these projects. This work, a collaboration between the Voelz and Shirts lab, seeks to test and apply OpenFreeEnergy methods for drug discovery.
