Ask HN: Unsolved hard problems like protein folding?

9 点作者 julvo超过 4 年前
Dear HN, Learning about AlphaFold, I was wondering what other big open problems there are that people are aware of but which seem impossible to solve?

Another good place to start is with other grid-scale computing problems ;)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boinc.berkeley.edu&#x2F;projects.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boinc.berkeley.edu&#x2F;projects.php</a>

Antibiotic resistance.<p>Here&#x27;s my roadmap: Solve gene sequencing (done). Solve protein folding. We just &quot;solved&quot; that, though for what I have in mind, we need more. We need to be able to, from a bacteria&#x27;s genome, determine enough of the expressed proteins to find what that bacteria is vulnerable to.<p>Then, last step: Given a bacteria with a particular DNA, from the proteins, find an antibiotic that will kill it.<p>My vision is for doctors&#x27; offices to be able to take a sample, somewhere local be able to do the DNA sequencing, and if there&#x27;s no known effective antibiotic for it, send the sequence data to a supercomputer at CDC that solves the protein folding problem, and from there derives a new antibiotic that will be effective at killing that bacteria. I&#x27;d like the whole process to take no more than hours. Even better if there&#x27;s somewhere local to the patient that can take the CDC&#x27;s output and synthesize some of the new antibiotic. (And, of course, the new result goes into the library of known solutions to known bacteria.)
