I would join the EA team but I have no computer at home that could do so; I'm trying to put together a folding team for my sad college - so many computers used for MySpace and other nonsense should at least contribute something meaningful.

looks like a unit will take about 5 days on a 1.6ghz single processor g5... so ok then. i have one unit! yay!

The University of Washington has a similar
program, in case you have even more processing power to spare. There's an article at the website that illustrates the difference between the two as well.. I think.

looks like they're down for repairs right now. so far none of these things seem to have multiprocessor support - the beta for f@h's multiprocessor client expired back in july. wish they'd hurry it up - i've got one of my four assigned solely to their program and would like to up that to 2-3...

Man, have any of you seen the PS3 version of this? It is so cool...you can see all the little iterations, replete with quirky sound effects and watch the proteins fold before your eyes.

I is in.
I must admit to trepidation as old style computer language screen popped up but I am willing to help. CJD is one of my pet paranoias.
Two questions:
Will this give me a fancy screen saver like the Seti one?
What the fuck is Protein Folding?

Accurate simulations of protein folding and misfolding enable the scientific community to better understand the development of many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, BSE (mad cow disease), cancer, Huntington's disease, cystic fibrosis and other aggregation-related diseases. [2] More fundamentally, understanding the process of protein folding — how biological molecules assemble themselves into a functional state — is one of the outstanding problems of molecular biology. So far, the Folding@home project has successfully simulated folding in the 5-10 microsecond range — a time scale thousands of times longer than it was previously thought possible to model.
