According to recent research from the United States, "We describe molecular dynamics simulations resulting in the folding the Fip35 Hpin1 WW domain."
"The simulations were run on a distributed set of graphics processors, which are capable of providing up to two orders of magnitude faster computation than conventional processors. Using the Folding@home distributed computing system, we generated thousands of independent trajectories in an implicit solvent model, totaling over 2.73 ms of simulations," wrote D.L. Ensign and colleagues, Stanford University.
The researchers concluded: "A small number of these trajectories folded; the folding proceeded along ...
