Virus Games are awesome strategy games, action games, disease spreading games and addicting clicker games for you to enjoy online and for free on Silvergames.

Eat as many proteins as possible in order to become bigger and bigger and eat up your enemies. The monkey-virus puzzle solution demonstrates that Foldit and other science-oriented video games could be used to address a wide range of other scientific challenges — ranging from drug development to genetic engineering for future biofuels.
He's not alone in that hope. That's something that Carter Kimsey, program director for the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure, would love to see happen.
One caveat, though: Playing Foldit isn't exactly like playing Bejeweled. Give the game a whirl , and let me know whether it's addictive or a drag.
The final decisive move in the Foldit Contender Group's solution to the monkey-virus puzzle involved twisting around that floppy loop, or "flap," in the structure of the enzyme. The paper published today notes that one of the Contenders, nicknamed "mimi," built upon the work done by other gamers to make that move.
I got in touch with mimi via email, and here's the wonderfully detailed response she sent back today from Britain:. There is both global chat, which everyone can access, and individual group chat, which allows team members to talk easily to one another.
Often the evolved solution for a team scores higher than the top solo score. A body of knowledge has been built up in the Wiki by contributions from players, and ideas are constantly fed back to the game designers. However, when I applied the same approach to the evolved solution that had been worked on by other team members, I was able to get it to tuck in, and that proved to be the answer to the structure.
I believe that it was the changes made by my colleagues that enabled mine to work, so it was very much a team effort. The feeling of having done something that could make a significant contribution to research in this field is very special and unexpected.
Foldit players have achieved a number of successes so far, and I hope we will go on to make many more. Update for p. ET Sept.
