Gamers Solve Scientific Problems

How did gamers use the computer game Foldit to solve the protein folding mystery?

Protein that can be used to eliminate the AIDS virus in humans because of their structure of models they created.

Who can particpate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit?

Technically this project is for anyone, the person could be with no background of solving puzzles or even know about the science that scientist use these days.


What can critical thinking do for science?
Well it depends on what they want to focus at for example the University of Washington solution has to be with people with a lot of critical thinking to make the project right.

If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be?

I would like to cure cancer because many people die from it. Also people just got to live by medicine and I want to change that .
