Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy

Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy is a distributed computing project that runs on the BOINC platform. It is a joint effort of the French muscular dystrophy charity, L'Association française contre les myopathies;[1] and L'Institut de biologie moléculaire et cellulaire (Molecular and Cellular Biology Institute).

Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy studies the function of various proteins that are produced by the two hundred genes known to be involved in the production of neuromuscular proteins by modelling the protein-protein interactions of the forty thousand relevant proteins that are listed in the Protein Data Bank. More specifically, it models how a protein would be affected when another protein or a ligand docks with it.

gollark: Hmm. Well. I'd quite like to retain compatibility, so that's a bit irritating...
gollark: Does `write` in older versions accept a string too on binary files?
gollark: UPDATE: it works now since apparently I can still `readAll` and `write` strings in `wb`/`rb` mode for some reason.
gollark: I'm having some bizarre issues writing some binary data to files. I'll try and put together a bit of code to demonstrate this with, but basically it seems like `\13` bytes (carriage return) are being replaced with `\10` bytes (line feed). My code is using `"w"` and `"r"` modes instead of binary mode because according to the wiki binary mode doesn't let me use `readAll` and write a whole string; do I need binary mode and is there a way around reading/writing individual bytes for this?
gollark: Wait, an automatic nether portal? Won't that run out of flint and steel or something eventually?
