Folding@Home, which is a distributed computing project aimed at simulating protein folding in order to combat diseases, has now released a project to model the interaction between the proteins in the virus surface and its receptors. By processing this data, progress could be achieved towards a therapeutic antibody, which can block viral proteins from binding its receptors This results in turn could help to develop treatments against the novel illness.
By joining the project, you donate some spare computing power to perform certain tasks. I’ve previously donated some computing power myself.
