Are you using the viewer? It is a bit of a buggy feature and tends to slow stuff down, if you want to know what project you are working on you should have a number like project 7706 (1,0,12) written somewhere, depending on which version you are running, if the window does not show much info about what is being studied you can go here:
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html and look for that project. For example the project I mentioned is running on my netbook here is what it is:
Project 7707
Projects 7706-7710 and 7712-7713 study the dynamics of the maltose/maltodextrin-binding protein(MBP), a member of the PBP family. The PBP's comprises hundreds of proteins that share a common fold and it is possible that also share a common binding mechanism. The goal here is to study the energy landscape of the MBP; we hope that the results of these projects will shed new light to understand the MBP conformational space and its relationship to the binding mechanism.
These projects uses the GRO-A4 FAH core and is hosted by Folding@home server: folding3.ust.hk (7706-7710)
folding1.ust.hk (7712-7713)
This project is managed by Fu Kit Sheong, Daniel-Adriano Silva and Prof. Xuhui Huang at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The main goal of the Huang lab is to understand and manipulate fundamental biological processes associated with conformational changes by developing and applying novel computational tools which bridge the gap between experiments and simulations. Examples of our interested research areas include RNA folding, protein misfolding/aggregration, conformational changes in Transcription Elongation, and the development of Markov State Models for long timescale dynamics. We have set up a hub for Folding@Home in Asia.
Happy folding new year to all the team, and congrats to Wiki for getting your monster folders running, you should be overtaking me soon.
