Solve Puzzles for Science | Foldit
The foldit game I was talking about over lunch - very good example of use of computer games in science. Exploits some natural human strengths. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet
Its is a unique way of doing science, The guy who does this is Dr. Zoran Popović (http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes...). An intresting web site he has. I heared one of his PhD student's project is based entirely on the results he get through the site. As far as i know they havent published anything based on the results from fold-it. Intresting to see how they will manage to publish stuff out of it. - Ahamed

The Fine-tuned principle in chemistry «  Henry Rzepa
Rzepa applies the anthropic principle to amide bond rotation. [Note to self - how do dipoles help explain the Me inequivalence of dimethylformamide?] - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet
It is interesting that we sometimes see rotamers for our Ugi products in the H NMR spectra - an example 173G containing and alkyne bond http://usefulchem.wikispaces.com/Exp173 - Jean-Claude Bradley
Couldn't you change the parameters in the model he mentions to see what chemistry would be like in a 'different' universe? I think that would be very interesting. - Andrew Lang

Couldn't we use something like this for inputting 3-D molecular models? - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet
I'd like to use this to generate models of my experimental setups. Would make it so much easier to generate figures from for M&M sections. Open source software? Couldn't find a download link... - Björn Brembs
looks really cool, fast input of hand made molecular models seems like a good possibility, couldn't find any software either though - Mike Chelen
