Our goal: to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases

What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease?
Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.
Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.

You can help by simply running a piece of software.

Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.

Folding uses a client that runs your CPU at 100% but at very low priority so that when you do anything else on your PC it can use all the CPU power needed. You don't notice it running, there isn't a performance hit. It does test your system and if it is unstable or poorly cooled F@H will expose this and it is liable to crash.

Download: Folding@home - Download the Folding@home software application

For single core processors the Windows 2000/XP/Vista Graphical client is an option. When minimised it sits in your task tray, quite unobtrusive.

For multicore processors there is Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008 SMP client console version. This means you always have a cmd window open on your PC.

If you have a PS-3 there is a client for that and it folds very fast, lots of points per day.

If you have an ATI video card (X16xx, X18xx, X19xx models) there is a GPU folding client

Configuring: Use team number 3542 for austech.info.

The team number is incorrect. It should read 3542
