Download D2OL 2.0

Drug Design and Optimization Lab, also known as D2OL, is a distributed computing project. It focuses on the medical world and tries to accelerate the development of medicines by screening a large number of possible molecules. These molecules enter into a reaction with the bacteria or virus present, after which the results of this reaction are passed on to D2OL. The final results of the different projects will be freely available for everyone to benefit from.
