Help fight the fight against HIV


Hey guys..

Want to know what you can do to help fight the fight against HIV?

"UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, estimated that in 2004 there were more than 40 million people around the world living with HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The virus has affected the lives of men, women and children all over the world. Currently, there is no cure in sight, only treatment with a variety of drugs."

That is a hell of alot of people. In comparison, the entire population of Australia today was 20,443,945 according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics website. Imagine that, the whole population of a country, and then double it, all infected with this virus, all hoping for some sort of cure or at least a way to make it managable.

Here is a great idea.

"Prof. Arthur J. Olson's laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) is studying computational ways to design new anti-HIV drugs based on molecular structure. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that the function of a molecule — a substance made up of many atoms — is related to its three-dimensional shape. Olson's target is HIV protease ("pro-tee-ace"), a key molecular machine of the virus that when blocked stops the virus from maturing. These blockers, known as "protease inhibitors", are thus a way of avoiding the onset of AIDS and prolonging life."

This I think is brilliant!.. Imagine your computer sitting there idle or even while your surfing the net helping to find new drugs or even a cure!
