If you don't know about Folding, I encourage you to find out what it's about: http://www.folding-wolves.com/viewforum.php?f=1

That's our website, with links to Stanford University. Basically, what Folding is is research for cures for cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Altzheimer's and more. You PC uses it's spare CPU (and GPU video card) cycles to run simulations for the researchers at Stanford. Then they use the results of these simulations in their research.

Because of a split with The Raptor Pit (thanks, Wolf) the Folding Wolves have a new Team number: 186785. We are always looking for new members to join our family of Folding. Please, take a few minutes and visit the Wolves site.

If what I do, with all my Folding PC's saves one life, it's damn well worth it. Period.

Put those cpu and gpu to good use, fold part time with your video card, to get your feet wet.
A 8xxx series Nvidia card or 2xxx Amd card can fold.

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

You can help scientists studying these diseases 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.

Protein folding is linked to disease, such as Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers
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.
