Help us help scientists studying Alzheimer’s Huntingston’s, and many cancers by using your computer to fold proteins.
What is protein folding?
Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." While protein folding is critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology much of the process remains a mystery. (Source (http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage))

“Gosh Greenie, how do I get started??”
Glad you asked…
How to get started: (instructions compliments of folding.sandford.edu for V7 fahcontrol which is recommended for CPU, SMP and GPU)
First you’ll need to obtain a passkey from folding.stanford.com.
Goto: Standford Passkey Page (http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py) and fill out the form. A passkey will be emailed to you. Save this passkey.
Download (https://fah-web.stanford.edu/projects/FAHClient/wiki/BetaRelease) and run the installer.
Click Next, I Agree, Next. (be sure to read any terms and notices)
Enter a name, team# 219453, and your Passkey.
Select a Preferred Mode, GPU & SMP, SMP only, GPU only, or Uniprocessor.
Explanation of modes:
GPU: Single or multiple discrete cards
SMP: Multicore (2+) CPU
GPU & SMP: Creates two folding slots, one for your CPU and one for your GPU
Uniprocessor: Single core CPU
Click Install.
Done.
You can now find the FAHcontrol under Start->Programs->FAHClient->FAHControl
Simply click the shortcut and it will start folding immediately.
Detailed instructions: Instructions (http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinGuide)
Running Linux? You can find other clients at HERE (http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther) follow the provided instructions.
Once you get started you can track your points at folding.extremeoverclocking.com (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/).
