Dear all, we have obtained results for different targets of SARS-CoV-2. The computations continue, and we want to ask your opinion on the next target. You can vote for one of them until February 5th, 2024.

• SARS-CoV-2 main protease (3CLpro) further studies
  
  This is a crucial therapeutic target against SARS-CoV-2. 3CLpro (cysteine protease; EC 3.4.22.69) in particular is crucial for the cleavage of coronavirus polyproteins to form mature non-structural proteins that are themselves essential for viral replication mechanisms. We still need much more research on this target towards new more potent inhibitors.
  
  
• Ebolavirus glycoprotein (GP)
  
  Ebola virus is a dangerous pathogen to humans and this target could be a perfect study case for PPI-type drug design scenario. The EBOV glycoprotein (GP) is the only virally expressed protein on the virion surface and is critical for attachment to host cells and catalysis of membrane fusion.
  
  
• Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV PLpro)
  
  This target would enable us to study the design on multiple related viral targets. Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), a newly emerging enteric coronavirus, is considered to be associated with swine acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS) which has caused significantly economic losses to the porcine industry. The pathogen indicates towards host-jump potential.

I appreciated being able to help choose, are all of these targets going to be able processed on GPU when the application is ready?

I think it would be most interesting to help those pigs who are suffering from severe diarrhea and find a treatment that works great for them too.

Thank you so much for your updates. I value to get the information you send in the messages.

Is it possible that all three targets can be achieved, over time?
I would like to vote on all the three targets. Because they are all important, in my opinion.

Thank you!
With best regards

Love that this is being put to a vote! I vote for 3CLPRO then GP.

Really a very nice idea to have the community select the next target.
Fantastic!

Michael.

Already 200 votes, I'm impressed :)

Boinc is not dead ! ;)

I vote for the first, 3CLPro

Ebolavirus glycoprotein (GP)

Ebolavirový glykoprotein (GP)

Done.

SARS-CoV-2 main protease (3CLpro)

Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV PLpro)

i vote for SADS-CoV PLpro too

Where can I see the results?

Thank you. A shame to see the next batch of units won't focus on Covid-19, although I respect the democratic decision.

Does anyone know of any other projects who still have covid19-work?

I'm really impressed to see that 354 people did vote, this is great !

I´m overall impressed about causing a Vote and a Poll for the next Target. I have to say, that i´m using Rosetta@Home from Time to Time but there is a Task Issue sometimes...
well Sorry for the Off-Topic :) How ever, thanks for the Poll and i´m looking forward to see that the Application using the GPU to do some Progress as well.
Thanks in advance for this Project. Hightly Apprechiated.

Ebolavirus glycoprotein (GP)
