Developer’s Description

By Stanford University
Use you spare system's recourses to further protein folding, misfolding, and related disease research.
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease. Results from Folding@Home F@H exhibit See Prof. Pande's lecture on F@H at Xerox PARC

You can help our project by downloading and running our client software. Our algorithms are designed such that for every computer that joins the project, we get a commensurate increase in simulation speed.
