    Dear Proteins@Home participants,

    I wish you a happy and successful New Year!
    In the period before the summer, more than 15,000
    volunteers participated in the Proteins@Home project.
    I would like to thank all of you for your overwhelming
    support. My warm thanks also go to the BOINC development
    and testing community.
    Thanks to you, we were able to make significant scientific
    contributions to the protein folding problem and to protein
    structure prediction methods. Our first publications are
    just becoming available: see, eg,
    http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/c...60966/ABSTRACT
    A book on distributed computing will also appear in 2008,
    with a chapter describing Proteins@Home:
    Distributed & Grid Computing -- Science Made Transparent
    for Everyone. Principles, Applications and Supporting
    Communities, Tektum Publishers, Berlin.
    In the last few months, thanks to the Proteins@Home
    results, we have considerably improved our prediction
    method and are beginning to apply it to specific protein
    families such as the Src homology domains and so-called
    WW domains. This will help us identify new members of
    these families and understand the function of newly-
    discovered genes. More information is in the attached
    report.
    With our improved methodology in place, we are ready
    for a new computation phase. We hope that you will
    participate in this new phase.

    Best wishes,

    Thomas Simonson
    head of the Proteins@Home project
