BTW, you can have up-to 16 previous logs in the logs folder by default so you can check the file in there if needed :) Thanks - yea, I haven't looked at Linux logs for a while (found them in /var/lib/fahclient/logs) ... looks like a "BAD_FRAME_CHECKSUM" upon restart, and the work unit aut...

Latest update from CDC on the Implications of the Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variant VOC 202012/01 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... riant.html The good news so far: the ability to evade vaccine-induced immunity—would likely be the most concerning because once a large proportion of the population...

Not heard of any 'faster spreading COVID variant'. If you look at the numbers, they're up, because of the holidays, or reopenings. As far as I know, COVID has always been an extremely fast spreading virus! Related articles from earlier today mention the new variant has mutations in the spike protei...

1. Does the new, "faster-spreading" COVID-19 VOC–202012/01 (COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7) variant found in the UK effect the current projects being researched on Folding@home? Will a new Demo-gorgon spike protein have to be modeled? 2. As a follow-up question, have any of the vaccine manufactu...

Thanks good to know - IMO, the decision to cut funding to the EcoHealth Alliance during a pandemic wasn't wise (politics aside).

Do the recent National Institutes of Health cuts to EcoHealth Alliance have any adverse effects on the collaboration between the Folding@home Consortium and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)?

Unfortunately it is very logical and quite possibly true. The most transmissible mutations will survive while the less tarnsmissible will disappear. That is natural selection, isn't it? Just this way, not an opposite. I'm not a doctor but I think I can answer in laymans terms - real PhDs can probab...

It is more transmissible than the original, but it seems to be the one we have been dealing with since February I think that's the question ... back in February, looking at the charts in the paper, we still had the Wuhan version as the predominant strain. Today, the Italian version seems to be prev...

This is Concerning - Does anyone know if this has come on the radar of Folding@home? Los Alamos National Laboratory/University of Sheffield paper (pre-print - still under review) "Spike mutation pipeline reveals the emergence of a more transmissible form of SARS-CoV-2". European strain (es...

The title of the topic does seem a little rude Just to clarify, when I initially proposed Folding@home look into Wuhan Coronavirus / COVID-19, I was going by what the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even our own US NPR was calling it at the time. Just like many other diseases named for their geogr...

Thank you PatherX, So the K-factor is determined more by scientific value of the WU - rather than anything directly related to formulas used in protein folding dynamics equations?

A couple of questions about the way folding@home determines PPD points The Folding@home Points System 1. Does the K-Factor used in the determination of points PPD relate to the kinetics and thermodynamic properties in any given protein molecular model? 2. The i5 CPU 750 processor, used as a baseline...

Thank you ... I know you folks are very busy right now, so I appreciate this. I was hoping there was a page I could share with prospective team members to give them full transparency before they decide to click on the download link. I'll send them to your post link for the time being.
