To Geneticists and Chemists - Phosphaplatins, Cancer, and Computing

[Richard Masters]

How would you employ molecular and protein-folding models to determine the effect and/or mechanism of action of various phosphaplatins on ovarian cancer cells?

What type of algorithms are typically employed in protein folding? Where would you find specific information on the molecular structure of phosphaplatins? Is there a public database containing molecular information relevant to ovarian cancer cells?

[Richard Masters]

Any takers?

Um, you could start with BOINC and the protein folding project:

I honestly don't know if there's anything suitable offered at my old place of employment (it's been many years since I was there), but check out what the European Bioinformatics Institute (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/structural.html) has in the way of publicly available tools and analyses.
