Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of any cancer — largely because it is detected late and poorly understood at the molecular level. This problem maps the protein conformations of KRAS and TP53 mutants, the two most common mutations in pancreatic cancer, using distributed molecular dynamics simulation.
Your computer runs a small segment of this simulation with each chunk. When enough miners confirm the same result, that conformation is verified and added to the dataset used by computational oncology researchers worldwide.
