Everyone starts as a PF quark. What are the criteria to move up the ladder? Thanks.
Only the admin @Greg Bernhardt can comment on that, but a little mystery is always good.bob012345 said:Is the necessary point totals for the different categories hidden?
Ok, thanks. I don't have to have an answer. A little mystery is good.Wrichik Basu said:Only the admin @Greg Bernhardt can comment on that, but a little mystery is always good.
It says I wrote an Insight blog but I never did?anorlunda said:You can see your own trophy points by clicking on "MY PF" on the top menu bar.

I think all the trophies say "you've done something", which reads a bit confusing. To see the ones you've won, click on your username in your post, then click on the number of points you have.bob012345 said:It says I wrote an Insight blog but I never did?
PF descriptions are created through a process called protein folding, where a protein's amino acid sequence is folded into a specific three-dimensional structure. This process is driven by the interactions between the different amino acids and their surrounding environment.
The creation of PF descriptions is influenced by various factors, including the protein's amino acid sequence, the surrounding environment, and the presence of other molecules or proteins that may interact with the protein.
PF descriptions can be predicted using computational methods, such as molecular modeling and simulation, which take into account the physical and chemical properties of the amino acids and their interactions. They can also be determined experimentally through techniques like X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
The accuracy of PF descriptions depends on the method used to create or predict them. Generally, computational methods have a higher accuracy compared to experimental methods, but both approaches have their limitations and may require validation through multiple techniques.
PF descriptions are important in scientific research because they provide insight into the structure and function of proteins, which are essential molecules in all living organisms. Understanding the PF descriptions of proteins can help in drug discovery, disease diagnosis and treatment, and other biotechnological applications.
