The curious thing is that "Gly" has 4 triplets assigned to it, whereas "Met" only has one. Homology between "Arg", "Cys", "Trp", "Ser" and "Gly" would make sense, but what if "GGA" turns into "UGA"? Are you just out of luck then?

First off, the whole field desperately needs programmers who understand genetics. If this interests you at all, I encourage you to pursue this. Computational models is one huge weakness of the field (computer power isn't really a weakness anymore).
Now, if I recall, isn't GGA more likely to be mistranslated into a CGA (or am I out to lunch there?)?
Edit: the mutation might be fatal, it might be a hinderance, it might be a wash. A geneticist could certainly try it in selected genes.

DNA replication is pretty amazing. I took AP biology in high school and we did some neat stuff with it. but that was ~12 years ago. Anyhoo, the way that I remember...
The bases A & T will always match up and bases C & G will always match up in the double helix. This is mainly due to the number of weak bonds that the two different types of bases have (A-T has 2 bonds and C-G has 3 IIRC). so the DNA looks something like this (these are random and don't mean anything)
A-T
A-T
C-G
T-A
C-G
G-C
....
When the DNA replicates, the double helix unzips for lack of a better word.
A T
A T
C G
T A
C G
G C
Then the free bases attach to both sides (along with all of the "backbone" molecules - I'm not getting into that)
A-T A-T
A-T A-T
C-G C-G
T-A T-A
C-G C-G
G-C G-C
So now you have two identical strands of the same DNA. No wif you've ever put together one of those 10k piece puzzles you know that some pieces will fit into another piece's spot. Sometime that happens with DNA too and you could get a G-G bond or a T-T bond. Then when that replicates you would get G-C & C-G or T-A & A-T.
Also as far as ending and starting a strand, there is genetic code for that. The ends of the DNA have an "end sequence"
827... just a few more days until 800

I'm about to finish a WU on my work computer that has been taking 1 hour and 35 minutes between the different percents. It should finish before noon EST. Hopefully it's a wopper in points.
On the other processor of that same computer is working on a 20,000,000 step WU. It is also taking near 1.5 hours to finish 1%.

Credits list. Every once in awhile, I'll run into a WU that isn't listed, but most of the time, they're available.

yeah, the one that's finishing today is project 2390.. not listed.
The other one is 2107 = points 404, days 114 (it'll be done in about 2 days)

I don't think so, you get what you're assigned. You can control whether you'll get big honkin' work units or not, but that's about it.
EDIT: I should say, you can control whether you're eligible to download big honkin' work units. You won't necessarily get one every time.

No, deadlines are a separate thing - best to use deadline-less with slower machines, though. For the big memory-hog high-scoring units, I think setting setting "Accept WUs >5MB" to 'yes' will usually get you the large work units.

How large will these large ones be? How much RAM would processing them consume? Any experiences?
schmiddi said:
Only what I've read here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-settings.html
and in their forum. It looks like they're 5+ mb downloads, and RAM utilization can be as much as a gigabyte.
I've got two machines running "bigWU" and haven't noticed anything good or bad about it.

I have had some running for 3 days on one of a dual 3.2 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM.
Currently they pull ~ 6MB each of Ram so no worries there (hopefully). I think that they just take a while to process and you won't be earning points until it's complete.

As I use version 4 of the client (Windows ME) I can't get the big work units.
I did discover that if you want deadlineless units in version 4 client you choose the genome@home option under client type of the configuration settings. Someone asked about that in a previous thread and I can't remember who.

It seems as though some stuff is available now for individuals. I just found out that on Tuesday I had only one WU come in but it was worth 1112 points!!!
I told you that last Tuesday!

Sorry I missed that post. I've actually have had to be working while at work
