@iaevilmonkey Folding@home has only recently been barely beaten by a supercomputer, one that studies oil research and whatnot. Folding@home has for years been 2-3 times faster than a supercomputer, which are expensive and often shared between many research groups. Distributed computing is a really great solution actually, because donors upgrade their hardware and the Pande Group doesn't have to pay for the computer's electricity and whatnot

@asdfxyz1 To function correctly, a protein needs to arrange itself into a 3D shape. It can do this while it is being made in the ribosome. This arrangement process is called "folding", and Folding@home simulates it. Sometimes, a protein can, for various reasons, mess up and fold incorrectly, and if the body doesn't know how to correct this problem the protein can cause all sorts of diseases. I'd recommend you read the Folding@home article on Wikipedia.

@eric12paul18 read the Folding@home article on Wikipedia. I've cleaned it up quite a bit so it should be very informative now!

Just started folding :)

Basically, cloud computing, instead of room of supercomputers, to assist in medical research to help find why things like Alzheimers and Huntington's disease happen (Misfolding of protein strands) and hopefully help find a way to stop the misfolding, to find a treatment, or even better, a CURE. My niece has a 50% chance of having Huntingtons, her mother is currently slowly dying from it, so I accept packets of data for my computer to process & send back to Stanford. You can help too. Anyone can.
