Gamers unite! You can join forces with some of the best minds in research as they try to find a cure to the new coronavirus. Folding@home lets researchers borrow the processing power of your computer, allowing them to run simulations to figure out the structure of proteins within coronavirus. Their goal? A “cryptic binding site” that will hopefully be the key to shutthing this virus down.For more information, click here (http://foldingathome.org/covid19/).
