Find-A-Drug (Team #2020) Info and Links

What is Find a Drug?
From Scootenalongnow:

Find a Drug is a private, not for profit organization that is attempting to identify from a vast database of known molecules(oxygen is a molecule), the likelihood(molecular structure is theoretical), through the use of their distributed client(Think), that certain molecules could interact with the human physiologic process to prevent, treat or cure certain diseases. More specifically, to identify candidate molecules that could have the correct structure to alter, potentiate or inhibit protein creation, utilization and/or disposal from the human body thus affecting the disease processes.
This first step in the identification process is useful to the research community in narrowing down this vast database against known disease processes(eg. Cancer), and making available the most likely candidates for further laboratory study.

A special thanks to Bok, PCZ, PY 222, LAURENU2 and many others whose posts I have read and been able to collect this info from.

=====

The goal of this topic is to try and put relating FAD info in one topic, so if anyone has any changes/additions/whatever, feel free to add to this (and mods feel free to edit this post). Hopefully it will be of some use to both new and old users alike. If this ends up being valuable I (or others) can work on creating one for every project.

Also, let me know if I have any typos, as I wrote this at 3AM and am a little sleepy.
