What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease.
What are proteins and why do they "fold"? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, and Parkinson's disease.

Ive been helping out too. I have 1 computer at my house running it full time and I installed it on like 2 comps at school (Mandeville High), but I think one of them got reformatted. I'll try to get it on some more if possible

Yeah mine refuses to install. I don't get it, I want to join since I could run it on my computer at work for lik 16 hours while I am away from work!!! Dangit!!!

hmm ... did you try the console version?

does anyone know if you can install multiple F@H things and have them running all at once. like the tray client and the screen saver?

yes, but they all have to be in separate directories (so they all work on different units, and don't corrupt each other's work)

Does pronet have a folding team that I can specify, so that it will add up our totals?

thanks for letting me know

Ah thanks.

OKOKOK
I just talked a guy at the folding forum, and you can change teams.
Im moving my 6 or so PC over here now.
