World Community Grid : An Interesting and Unique Effort To Answer Various Human Microbiome Problems

in #esteem6 years ago
There are still many problems that need to be solved and find solutions, especially problems related to bacteria that live inside and in our bodies. These bacteria, which mostly live in our digestive system, are part of a system called the human microbiome, which is currently estimated at 30 trillion bacteria in our bodies. Not all of these bacteria are dangerous, but even some of these bacteria are beneficial to the human body. However, some of these bacteria have been involved in various diseases such as type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.

To understand and know the structure and role played by human microbiomas, scientists utilize the computational power to explore these human microbiomas in detail. The use of this technology aims to gain a better understanding of the role of human microbiomas in disease progression, so that they (scientists) will be able to find and create better diagnosis and treatment.

Scientists will need knowledge of the proteins produced by these bacteria, which are encoded in their genomes. Determining the physical structure (form) of protein molecules encoded by each bacterial gene is very important for scientists in determining the role and function played by each of these bacteria because without knowing the structure of this protein, it would be very difficult or impossible for scientists can determine the function of the protein.

Technically, scientists have just able to explore how bacterial proteins react with each other after they determine the function of proteins from these bacteria, and then determine which proteins play a role in a number of diseases. Based on this knowledge and insight, scientists will be able to develop drugs to control certain proteins and help treat diseases derived from or affected by human microbiomes.

There are millions of genes that are owned by the human body and some of them are almost impossible to be exploited with traditional laboratory techniques. Therefore, scientists are experimenting using technological advances, where computational methods are thought can to be used to predict the structure of proteins, even though it requires huge computational power than the usual power available to scientists.

World Community Grid is the answer to problems that almost cannot be solved in a traditional laboratory. By utilizing the power of computing with large-scale power, it will greatly help scientists to complete their research to answer all the problems associated with bacteria in a system called microbiome.

The Microbiome Immunity Project will more quickly predict the structure of proteins by using computational power in greater numbers. Let's join the Byteball World Community Grid and donate your unused computing power to help speed up scientists in predicting the protein structure of these bacteria.

Being a WCG volunteer or volunteer will be appreciated and respected, those of you who join as volunteers and contribute contributing power will get a point called GB (bytes) and WCG points made by byteball. Every point resulting from your contribution will be credited to you.

When you join this community, you have contributed and helped solve the humanitarian problems associated with human intestinal microbiomas, and in diseases that have been shown to be associated with intestinal bacteria such as type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.
