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（フォールディット）は、タンパク質構造予測を行うコンピュータゲームであり、クラウドソーシングによる市民科学の一つ。ワシントン大学の計算機工学部とバイオサイエンス学部（Rosetta@homeの開発に関わったデイヴィッド・ベイカーら）の共同開発によって製作され、2008年5月にベータ版として公開された。Folditは、単にゲームを楽しむという性質の他に、ゲームによってコンピュータがうまく解決できない問題（タンパク質の折りたたみ構造の解析）を解くという意味合いがある。 Folditはクラウドソーシングと分散コンピューティングを組み合わせたソフトウェアである。 2011年、Folditのプレーヤーは実際のM-PMVレトロウイルスのプロテアーゼのX線結晶構造解析において充分な質の分子置換モデルを生成し、結晶学者が10年間困難であった解析を成功に導いた。
