玩遊戲、救人類

聽過SETI@home搜尋外星生命計畫嗎?希望為解開生命起源之謎預測蛋白質結構獻上一份心力嗎?或是你比較喜歡把愛因斯坦帶回家?(我在說什麼?)

電腦不好,網路很慢,怕拖累科學家?
現在有更輕鬆的方法幫助科學家了解生命真相,而且還可以名正言順的玩遊戲!

先來看段影片:



心動了嗎?我們看看這個玩遊戲同時幫助科學家的傢伙怎麼說
After installing the game you are given protein samples to untangle. On the surface it appears as though you are trying to solve a puzzle of tangled cords, but your solutions are much more valuable:

The number of different ways even a small protein can fold is astronomical because there are so many degrees of freedom. Figuring out which of the many, many possible structures is the best one is regarded as one of the hardest problems in biology today and current methods take a lot of money and time, even for computers. Foldit attempts to predict the structure of a protein by taking advantage of humans' puzzle-solving intuitions and having people play competitively to fold the best proteins.

By leveraging a large pool of users just like distributed computing projects such as SETI@Home, the founders of Foldit hope to build an enormous database of proteins that have been untangled and reduced to their simplest forms by sharp eyed gamers across the world.
