Hey everyone!
We're about to push an update to the developer preview with some big changes to our underlying biochemistry software, Rosetta.
Rosetta provides Foldit with algorithms that represent the state-of-the-art of protein biochemistry modeling. However, the version of Rosetta we are using is now quite a few years out of date, and we'd like to get back to the cutting edge.
This update brings us up-to-date with the latest version of Rosetta. You hopefully shouldn't actually notice any changes… yet. The benefits of this update will come down the road as we begin to take advantage of the features in this more capable version of Rosetta.
If you do notice any behavioral differences in your testing, please leave us some feedback!
