Rosetta@home[edit]

Rosetta's goal is to develop computational methods that accurately predict and design protein structure and protein complexes. This computational endeavor may ultimately help researchers develop cures for human diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Malaria and many other diseases.

Baker Laboratory is based at the University of Washington. The principal investigator is David Baker, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Washington and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, who has been elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in April 2006. The BakerLab scientific team includes post-docs John Karanicolas, Phil Bradley, Kira Misura, Bill Schief, Vanita Sood, Bin Qian, Eric Althoff, Daniela Roethlisberger, Jim Havranek, as well as numerous graduate students and visiting scientists.

    • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.[4]
