Title: FractalForums.com Folding Team Post by: heneganj on September 29, 2006, 03:03:08 PM Hi I'm a big fan of the Stanford Edu's Protein Folding project, it would be great if you can join Team FractalForums.com at http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=52054 (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=52054)
Folding is an excellent way to advance scientific discovery. Title: Re: FractalForums.com Folding Team Post by: Jules Ruis on September 29, 2006, 10:00:34 PM Please tell me what is the relation between protein folding and fractal geometry.
Do you know the new International PostGentics Society (IPGS)? Title: Re: FractalForums.com Folding Team Post by: heneganj on September 29, 2006, 10:18:14 PM Hi Jules,
This board "non fractal related topics" is a chance for members to interact and discuss things not directly related to Fractals. That might sound counterintuitive but forums often thrive when their remit is expanded. Protein folding has little to do with fractals. Or does it? I'm not tempting an answer on that one - this topic is to share another chance to be a part of something. If you've not tried protein folding, give it a go - you too might get hooked! Cheers, --Jase Title: Re: FractalForums.com Folding Team Post by: Jules Ruis on September 29, 2006, 10:56:31 PM My question is a real question, not a cynical one!
I think that DNA an Protein structures have to do everything with fractals.

Title: Re: FractalForums.com Folding Team Post by: heneganj on October 12, 2006, 09:58:08 AM Ah the old SETI vs folding debate! Personally I think that SETI hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of finding anything more than static, whereas folding results have already borne research fruit.
But each to their own! Title: FractalForums.com Folding Team Post by: Jules Ruis on October 12, 2006, 10:48:33 AM I think your are not right. DNA, RNA and Protein processes all are fractal related. See the new International PostGenetic Society (Founded some months ago). See www.junkdna.com |
