For more on FoldIt see, Cooper et al.
Foldit was developed in 2008 by the University of Washington.
The gamers of Foldit solved it in 15 days.
Foldit, a game created by computer scientists, illustrates the value of the approach.
From the perspective of the player, Foldit appears to be a puzzle(figure 5.8).
Foldit turns the process of protein folding into a game that can be played by anyone.
Or consider the case of David Baker,the biochemist working in Seattle developing Foldit.
Foldit turns the process of protein folding into a game that can be played by anyone.
For example, the final author of the first Foldit paper was“Foldit players”(Cooper et al. 2010).
In 2011, FoldIt players attempted to determine the structure of a retrovirus that causes AIDS in monkeys.
For example, the final author of the first Foldit paper was“Foldit players”(Cooper et al. 2010).
In Foldit, the players are often listed as an author(Cooper et al. 2010; Khatib et al. 2011).
It is pretty cool thatcitizen scientists have labeled galaxies at Galaxy Zoo and folded proteins at Foldit.
Second, by some definitions of human computation(e.g., Ahn(2005)), Foldit should be considered a human computation project.
It is pretty cool that citizen scientists have labeledgalaxies at Galaxy Zoo and folded proteins at Foldit.
Foldit recently made a notable and major scientific discovery by deciphering the structure of the Mason-Pfizer monkey virus.
We spend weeks andweeks trying to jam this into students' brains and Foldit players learn it naturally because it's fun.".
Foldit and the Netflix prize are different in many ways, but they both involve open calls for solutions that are easier to check than generate.
But, open call projects can also involve participants who have no formal training,as was illustrated by Foldit, a protein-folding game.
Last September, the gamers of Foldit solved the three-dimensional structure of the retroviral protease that contributes to AIDS in rhesus monkeys.
He could never have anticipated that someone from McKinney, Texas named Scott“Boots” Zaccanelli, who worked by day as a buyer for a valve factory, would spend his evenings folding proteins,eventually rising to a number-six ranking on Foldit, and that Zaccaenlli would, through the game, submit a design for a more stable variant of fibronectin that Baker and his group found so promising that they decided to synthesize it in their lab(Hand 2010).
Foldit and the Netflix prize are different in many ways, but they both involve open calls for solutions that are easier to check than generate.
According to the definition proposed in Ahn(2005) Foldit- which I described in the section on open calls- could be considered a human computation project.
Although Peer-to-Patent may seem different than the Netflix Prize and Foldit, it has a similar structure in that solutions are easier to check than generate.
In fact, in a head-to-head competition between Foldit players and state-of-the-art algorithms, the players created better solutions for 5 out of 10 proteins(Cooper et al. 2010).
