Gamers Solve DNA Puzzle
Share
A story about how gamers solved a complex scientific problem that stumped researchers for years.
"There was basically an AIDS-like virus and scientists for a decade or two couldn't figure out the structure of a protein cutting enzyme. They set it out to gamers and turned it into a game, and they figured it out in 3 weeks, when scientists couldn't solve it for years."
This is a perfect example of how gamers' problem-solving abilities can be applied to real-world challenges. The medical board transformed a complex scientific problem into a game format, and the gaming community solved it remarkably quickly.
