The Importance of Grid Computing and Understanding the Evolution of HIV

Our group used the not for profit program rosetta@home to fold proteins that could one day help find cures for many different diseases, such as HIV.  From this project, we have learned that HIV is a disease that is tricky to understand due to it's ability to mutate rapidly. Grid computing is an important process that may one day help us to better understand the mutations in the HIV strands. It is also important to research the evolution of HIV in order to understand how it has previously mutated, and how it is becoming resistant to treatments. It became clear to us how important it is to study the evolution of HIV when we visited the blood bank. How fast and often certain strands mutate is information that is necessary in order to keep blood transfusions safe.
