• Molecular Modelling for COVID
  Hi everyone - A friend asked me for a simulation to see if the drug methaqualone will bind to the SARS-entry receptor ACE2. Does anyone have a lot of experience in molecular modelling to predict binding? I feel the way I would do this would be dilletantic. Would love to hear your feedback
• $50,000 in funding for companies tackling the coronavirus
  Hi everyone 🙂 My name is Jiwon and I run XX, a 12-week accelerator program that invests in super early founders. We're funding $50K in companies tackling the coronavirus and I thought many people at DIYbio must be working on projects creatively solving for the crisis. We also pair founders

  Coursera Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Fighting COVID-19 with Epidemiology: A Johns Hopkins Teach-Out beginning Tuesday, March 31 Coursera ‘Science Matters: Let's Talk about COVID-19’, from the Abdul Latif Jameel Institute for Disease Emergency Analytics (J-IDEA) at
• What are the most promising techniques being researched for bio-bots?
  I know absolutely nothing at all about bio-bots, crispr-cas9 or biohacking. I don't intend to build bio-bots myself. I just want to know where the research is at so that I can be aware. I work with blockchain technology and my research is focused on a "trust protocol" that can influence physical
• Autoclaving vinegar
  Hi everyone, Growing some bioplastics right now. Dissolving Pectin is really hard but autoclaving it is just magical. Not, ideally I want it dissolved in 5% acetic acid ("table vinegar"). Flaming point is 38°C but ignition temperature seems above 400°C. Is it smart to autoclave 100 or 500
• Know a good research reading URL list for covid-19 disinfectant recipes and processes?
  For instance: 1. Mild heating to sterilize nuts, grains from bulk bins. 2. Bleach water and soap recipe for soaking vegetables from the store before using. 3. UV LED exposure levels and times that kill covid-19 4. Would a recipe of IPA 91% + green tea to yield 70% IPA be effective on hard
• Ventilators
