About SiDock@home project

COVID.SI is a citizen science project to fight against SARS-CoV-2 by distributed computing.

In our project, we are looking for ligands – small molecules that can successfully bind to protein targets and modulate a specific process that is crucial for the virus biochemistry. Together we have developed software that can be easily installed on your computer to help participants help find the cure for today’s invisible enemy. Based on molecular docking, the ideal ligand should be complementary in shape and properties to the binding site of the target biomolecule. However, the complementarity of small molecules is only one prerequisite for the use of a molecule as a drug.

The search for the right molecule is best illustrated by finding a small needle in a huge haystack. It is a much more difficult problem because of the number of possible molecular structures. The amount of all possible molecular structures is also called the chemical universe – the size of this abstract space can be estimated to be 10 to the power of 80. There are many galaxies in this chemical universe, and one of the galaxies is a galaxy with potentially pharmacologically active molecules. The method for this purpose is called virtual screening. In principle, the larger the part of the chemical universe that we study, the higher the likelihood of finding a potential cure for the coronavirus.

You can help with your computer. With the help of BOINC, you will download a subset of compounds on your computer, examine the compounds in the context of the studied target and send the results to a server where they are collected for later analysis.

For account creation please use Crunch_4Science invitation code. It is not needed when registering by BOINC Manager.

Windows application requires theMicrosoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 .

Project can be found at https://fightcovid.boinc.ru/sidocktest/

TSBT have been set up on this project.

Doesn't it need a redistributable Microsoft Studio 2019 runtime or so?

Yes .... Linux runs as is and is quite a bit faster.

SiDock@home is out of test and in production with a separate project and website https://www.sidock.si/sidock/

It's run by Natalia and hoarfrost, the same folks that run/ran rakesearch

The credit is meager :(

Credit screw as they are too lazy to do anything other than accept the standard.

If 'running' could be applied to Rakesearch, at the moment...

Not 100% sure about this , but one of my systems is returning valid units and I'm pretty sure it does not have VS C++ 2019 installed. I didn't run it as I'm pretty certain it is only VS C++ 2015, tried it and hey presto, I now have a huge 4 systems on the BamSTATS challenge.

I think we shall catch SG soon and maybe TaaT before the end or we could go an extra day if need be to take 25 points, with less than 11 months to go, lol.
