Figure 5.8: Game screen for Foldit.
And thus began Foldit(Hand 2010).

For more on FoldIt see, Cooper et al.
Foldit Helping science, fun, competition, community.
From the perspective of the player, Foldit appears to be a puzzle(figure 5.8).

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.
In Foldit, the players are often listed as an author(Cooper et al. 2010; Khatib et al. 2011).
It is pretty cool that citizen scientists have labeled galaxies at Galaxy Zoo andfolded proteins at Foldit.
Foldit is a protein-folding game that enables non-experts to participate in a way that is fun.
It is pretty cool that citizen scientists have labeled galaxies at Galaxy Zoo andfolded proteins at Foldit.
Foldit is a beautiful open call because it enables non-experts to participate in a way that is fun.
Second, by some definitions of human computation(e.g., Ahn(2005)), Foldit should be considered a human computation project.
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.
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.
While watching these visualizations, Baker began to wonder whether it would be possible for humans to help in the process,and thus began Foldit, a creative and beautiful open call(Hand 2010).
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).
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).
However, I choose to categorize FoldIt as an open call because it requires specialized skills and it takes the best solution contributed, rather than using a split-apply-combine strategy.
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.
However, I choose to categorize Foldit as an open call because it requires specialized skills(although not necessarily formal training) and it takes the best solution contributed, rather than using a split-apply-combine strategy.
In fact, in a head-to-head competition topredict the structure of 10 specific proteins, Foldit players were able to beat state-of-the-art protein folding algorithms five times(Cooper et al. 2010).
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).
