when are we going to see some real-world benefits from F@H? are there drugs made using the research all these computers have done?

there is actually a detailed summary of which proteins you have folded and which diseases they cause...

so i guess the next question is (based on the title 'fruits of your labor') why aren't you folding?

I asked about this awhile ago, and BillR gave me some info. There have definitely been advances. Specifically, a prostate cancer test that uses protein markers to detect cancer, when a PSA test gives an ambigious result (4 to 10). It's supposed to be nearly 100% accurate on cancer, and greatly reduces false positives.

I think that the work on Alzhiemers did lead to a drug that helps in the early stages...can't recall exact details.

Someone will come along and add to the list, I'm sure.
