Dears!

We have recently published a new paper on the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation: "Visualizing the Induced Binding of SH2-Phosphopeptide", authored by me, ignasi (shared co-authors) and GDF. In the paper we have made (hopefully :) good use of your donated GPU time to find out in detail what happens when a kind of signal is transmitted between proteins in a cell. The signal is the recognition of a short peptide (pYEEI for friends) by a partner "plug", called the SH2 domain. This kind of signaling is in fact very common in cells for responding to all varieties of messages (for example in receptor kinases).

We updated the badges accordingly - and this time we also briefly go down the hall of fame. Of the 3113 contributors, these are the 10 users who contributed the most computation (rank, name, millions of credits):

1 Retvari Zoltan 70.1
2 Venec 66.8
3 davidYuen 49.0
4 WirelessDude 46.8
5 Stoneageman 46.3
6 CTAPbIi 26.0
7 Helmholdt 24.8
8 Nikke 24.3
9 CNT - IQE 24.0
10 Ketzer7 24.0

Hi, congratulations to all !
I would like a link to this ranking ? Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance.

Yeay my first one :D

Is there a link to the published paper too?

No, the rankings aren't on the web.

Here you'll find it.

Wow!
Finally I've got my own personal Chuck Norris badge :)

After watching the video now I understand this statement perfectly! :o)

Congrats! Surprised? You get more credit in one day than me in one month!

Wow!

Congratulations, but it doesn't make up for the extraordinarily unfortunate shape of that lysine badge. ^^

Just look at the surface changes (red) and you will appreciate how much the SH2 domain alters when pYEEI binds to the domain. Red and blue are commonly used to indicate hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas.

Red and blue are commonly used to indicate hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas.

Good point. Indeed, red and blue often indicate hydrophilic (electrically charged) regions or hydrophobic (greasy) ones.
However, in this very video red and blue indicate the fluctuation of the position of the atoms, that is for example, their vibration. So, if you pay attention, as the ligand (the skinny nervous fella) binds to his big buddy, goes from red to blue meaning that it reagidifies. And so happens in some degree for the big buddy (SH2 protein). It even partially hugs it from the left at 1:15...

cheers

congrats to all !
good work !

Thx :-) I hope this will help you, guys.

Just realized i'm in top 25% of contributors in this one ( 346/3113 ) - cool :-)

Wow!

Congrats!! I can just hear it now - "Chuck Norris Approved." LOL

All well and good but as far as I can tell it doesn't bring us one step closer to understanding that universal mystery...

...women!
