Research: CANCER Folding Project #12497

Project #12497 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project uses computer simulations to figure out how well drugs bind to their targets. Users design the simulations, and powerful computers run them. The goal is to make finding new drugs faster and easier.
Automated summary; simplified and may not be fully accurate.

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.
