This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the
resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and
investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,
and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is
for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.
Using distributed computing algorithms and a network of 100,000 CPUs (the "Folding@Home" project), we have studied dynamics of small proteins on the ten of microseconds to millisecond timescale. In particular, we have been able to, for the first time, simulate the folding of small proteins in all atom detail starting purely from the protein`s sequence. Moreover, we have been able to predict the structure of these small proteins as well as the folding rate, and these predictions have quantitatively agreed with experiment. PSC is the main data repository for Folding@Home data. We are working with PSC to eventually host this data for the rest of the community to study and data mine. This woul further leverage the work of these 100,000 CPUs, benefiting the research of several other groups as well. Since this data set is very large (terabytes), this is something which requires PSC`s data infrastructure and backup systems.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
