Buggeration! I was beaten to the punch.

Quote:
The Find-a-Drug project has now processed more queries than the original 250 we envisaged. We have also targetted most of the recognised protein targets for the major project areas. Where we have been able to obtain experimental data to confirm biological activity, the predictions have exceeded our expectations. Our experience suggests that it will be difficult to find collaborators who will be interested in the results of targetting proteins whose biological function is unknown or of little therapeutic interest.

We have concluded that there are insufficient worthwhile protein queries to continue the project into 2006 and have decided to close the project on 16 December 2005. We will continue to make some new queries available over the coming weeks but will not accept results after the close of the project.

We are obviously very grateful for the contributions of members and will continue to work with our collaborators.

We have a number of collaborations in place and further discussons are on going to utilise the results.

There will be some new queries before the end of days:

7 cancer
1 HIV
1 Respiratory Disease (TB)
6 Proteome

Thanks to all who have partaken in the quest for holy drugs!

Ni!

Well, that's a darn shame isn't it. I hope they managed to end up with lots of helpful results from the project.

(That reminds me, I've had mine 'sleeping' a bit too much due to the heat. I'll have to finish off the shrubs I've got and get them in.)
