    Folding At Home

    This is important: What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases.

This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease. Why? Because it is. I’ve got it on my computer, but hadn’t enabled it before now.
