Hello @dutch - could BOINK (I hope that I used the correct term) be used to search for a molecule that could activate telomerase and extend telomeres in human cells / organisms?
following you sir.

if I understand correctly, if you have a data set to test, yes! in the same fashion as WCG when they found a more efficient chemical set for solar panels:

It most definitely could, seeing as telomerase shape and function is relatively well understood. BOINC already processes molecular interactions on smaller scales, so I see no reason it cannot test for interactions with more complex compounds.
There are several exhaustive molecular interaction studies already being done.
let us know when you find the immortal molecular interaction pls
