I was just wondering if we should starts a 4PP Folding@Home Team?
Answer the poll, leave feedback.

yeah sounds like a great idea,
also this would get many other people to start folding@home who haven't done it before

The Concept is....if everyone with a ps3 is given a very long math problem, and solves it. But it turns out that the math problem you are given is part of a MUCH larger math problem. Then with everyone trying to solve it, We could solve...anything. (anything math or science related anyways)

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. What have we done so far? We have had several successes. You can read about them on our Science page, on our Awards page, or go directly to our Results page. |
