I can see this also being interesting as a video as well. Kind of like watching the radio. Could this be a potability? Maybe it's more boring as it sounds. I don't know.
Where is the link to the video/audio ? I just see a grey box with a non-clickable SOUNDCLOUD logo .
There's the link: https://soundcloud.com/folditgame/lets-foldit-episode-3
Neat idea, drumpeter. It's definitely something I can explore.

Hi,
Thanks Chevalier for this interesting episod. I understand that with aa sequence, its's possible using DNA etc to synthetize a protein, but how do you give it the right 3D structure starting from our best results ?
