Description:
Fold It is a game developed by the Rosetta@Home team (the developers of Folding@Home)
It’s a new approach to protein prediction. Instead of using a more or less brute-force approach, with a CPU trying lots and lots of possibilities and calculating which ones give the best results, the game uses the human brain’s pattern recognition abilities (with help from a few automated tools) to try to find the lowest-energy folded state of a protein.
It has the potential to be on the cutting edge of a new generation of scientific games that are fun to play, teach you things, and can actually help researchers.
While a Linux port is currently being worked on, this game is playable under WINE.
