Launch of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 Project
World Community Grid is pleased to launch the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project by researchers supported by Decrypthon, a partnership between AFM (French Muscular Dystrophy Association), CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) , and Unversite Pierre et Marie Curie. The mission of the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project is to investigate protein-protein interactions for more than 2,200 proteins whose structures are known, with particular focus on those proteins that play a role in neuromuscular diseases. The database of information produced will help researchers design molecules to inhibit or enhance binding of particular macromolecules, hopefully leading to better treatments for muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases. For additional information on this project, please press the Research button in the upper navigation bar or click here.
Project Badge
If a member contributes a minimum of 14 days of CPU Run Time to this project, they will receive a Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project badge on their member statistics page and next to their member name when they post in the forums. There is a different badge for each research project and beta testing. To read more about badges, click here.
Forums
In addition to providing information about this project, we have created a forum for discussions about the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project. To participate in this forum, please press the Forums button in the upper navigation bar or click here. Only forum authors with the title "Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy Scientist" are authorized to comment as representatives of the research organizations: Unversite Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France) and CNRS (Lyon, France).
Project Participation
The Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project is the fourteenth research project to be launched on World Community Grid and one of nine projects currently active. The other eight active research projects are: Influenza Antiviral Drug Search (launched May, 2009), Help Fight Childhood Cancer (launched March, 2009), The Clean Energy Project (launched December, 2008), Nutritious Rice for the World (launched May, 2008), Help Conquer Cancer (launched November, 2007), Discover Dengue Drugs – Together (launched August, 2007), Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 (launched July, 2006) and FightAIDS@Home Phase 2 (launched November, 2005). For more detailed information and FAQs about each of these projects, please click on the Research button in the upper navigation bar or click here. We thank all of our members for their valuable contributions to the projects to date and hope you will continue to help us process those, as well as this latest project.
Because there are nine research projects running on World Community Grid, your grid agent could receive work units from any of the projects depending on your Project profile. If you prefer, you may elect to focus your computer's time only on particular projects. To do so, press the My Grid button in the upper navigation bar and select My Projects or click here. Work is sent only to machines which meet minimum system requirements set for a particular project. To read more specifics on the system requirements for the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project and the other projects, click here.
Questions?
If you have any questions, World Community Grid provides you with four methods of obtaining assistance: (1) Review the FAQs found in the HELP section of the website; (2) Review the forums to see if anyone has asked/answered the question that you have; (3) Ask the question in World Community Grid's Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project forum found here and a Community Advisor or a more experienced member will provide an answer; or (4) Send an email to the support desk from the Contact Us link found at the bottom of every page of the website (except in the forums).
We thank you for contributing to the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy – Phase 2 project.
此階段由法國肌肉萎縮症協會,法國國家科學研究中心及皮埃爾與瑪麗-居裡大學研究人員共同合作。第二期項目旨在調查多於二千三百個已知蛋白質與其他蛋白質的相亙反應,特別注重一些在神經肌肉疾病扮演重要角色的蛋白質。資料庫內數據有助研究人員設計分子用作抑制或加強約束特定巨大分子,希望從而更好地治療肌營養不良症及其他神經肌肉疾病。[/red] |
