I stumbled into this thread. What I understand is my computer will simulate protein folding and I'll somehow help save the world(god bless to all of you who have family and loved ones diagnosed with a disease related to misfolding). I'm still not really sure how I help anything by downloading this program....cheers I guess:)

You help by allowing your computer to fold proteins in the background. When its done folding it sends the information on what happened back to Stanford. If you get a miss fold they can examine what happend.

Hi stryke297, and welcome to BleepingComputer.
You will find a quick rundown on F@H here - http://folding.stanford.edu/ Every little bit helps, so if you decide to join Team 38444 I would suggest you dowload Vs 5.03 which will give you an icon in your systray from which you can see your progress and alter your configuration. When you get familiar with how Folding works on your machine, you may want to change to 5.04 which runs completely automatically in the background. Security is No 1 priority with this program so you may be assured that it is completely safe to run on your system and you will be welcomed by about 900,000 other users around the world. The more folks who join in, the better chance there is that Stanford University will come up with results which may help all of us. Cheers. -------------------- |

Also you can be assured it's safe because it is created and maintained by a university and has been around for about 7 years.

That's Great!
Just a reminder to all - Every completed WU counts. Whether one is doing just one a week or so, or 10+. Fold ON!!! -------------------- The only easy day was yesterday.

Every WU counts to the end result. Fold on! //edit: I'll just say that I'm proud to be a part of a small team that is doing so much with the F@H. BC' team Rocks.... This post has been edited by KoanYorel: Apr 19 2008, 08:45 AM -------------------- The only easy day was yesterday.

Yes! For a small team such as us. We have made it pretty far compared to a few other teams around us. Can't wait until we hit 1,000,000 points and under the 1,000 ranking!

If I can get a hold of anymore! lol It would be nice. However, I finally got my laptop up and running but it's running the beta client and it's been working on a single WU for over two weeks!
Ides of July? eh.. I thought that was March...eh nevermind.. I think I know what you're up there Koan! *yano starts reading the classified ads for garage sales.. or craigslist
