I searched Goggle and Download.com for InCrease to no avail. I'm content to run a slow progress "protein" on this old '99 model as long as it's contributing to the overall project.

You may not be interested any longer, but this link, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16999 , goes to a download site. The ratings comments posted there by Folders using InCrease are very, very interesting.

I looked up the p1808 protein that my system is working on. Here it is:

These projects concern the folding of the triple helix of collagen. Collagen is a major component of bone, skin, and other organs. It is in fact the most abundant protein in humans, taking a quarter of the protein mass. Collagen has a unique structure consisting of three chains wrapped around each other, hence the name triple helix. Mutations in collagen cause misfolding of the triple helix, leading to diseases such as Osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. We are studying the folding mechanism and how mutations affect it.

Points and deadlines:
p1800 - 77 points, 23 days;
p1801 - 66 points, 20 days;
p1802 - 77 points, 23 days;
p1803 - 69 points, 21 days;
p1804 - 123 points, 35 days;
p1805 - 130 points, 37 days;
p1806 - 19 points, 10 days;
p1807 - 19 points, 10 days;
p1808 - 153 points, 44 days;
p1809 - 153 points, 44 days;
