Official Project Description

CORONAVIRUS PROJECT These projects are part of Folding@home’s efforts to assist researchers around the world taking up the global fight against COVID-19.

At the time of release, this is the latest news update: https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/10/covid19-update/ These projects are CPU projects to simulate COVID-19 proteins to learn about their dynamics and function.

These supplement high-priority GPU projects of the main protease as well as the COVID-19 receptor binding domains.

All can be considered potential drug targets. Please stay tuned to https://foldingathome.org/news/ for more current updates. ALL of these projects are Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 main protease in complex with a potential inhibitor: series project number ------- ------- 72_RL 14800
