Game details · IGDB
Foldit is an online puzzle video game about protein folding. It is part of an experimental research project developed by the University of Washington, Center for Game Science, in collaboration with the UW Department of Biochemistry. The objective of Foldit is to fold the structures of selected proteins as perfectly as possible, using tools provided in the game. The highest scoring solutions are analyzed by researchers, who determine whether or not there is a native structural configuration (native state) that can be applied to relevant proteins in the real world. Scientists can then use the…

Foldit è un videogioco sperimentale riguardante il ripiegamento proteico e la progettazione di nuove proteine, sviluppato all'Università di Washington tramite la collaborazione fra il dipartimento di Scienza e Ingegneria informatiche, il dipartimento di Biochimica (molte delle stesse persone hanno creato il progetto Rosetta@home) e il Center for Game Science.
