Folding@Home - Dynastream

Dynastream Ltd is taking part in the Folding@Home distributed computing project by donating spare computer cycles to aid medical research.

 

 

Folding@home is a distributed computing project, that studies protein folding and misfolding. Much effort has been expended trying to understand how proteins fold up in nature.

 

One of the objectives of the project is to simulate protein folding in order to understand how proteins fold so quickly and reliably, and to learn how to make synthetic polymers with these properties. The simulations can be applied to further the study of protein folding and related diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease, Huntington's Disease, and certain forms of cancer.

 

Solving the folding problem has enormous implications: exact drugs can be designed theoretically on a computer without a great deal of experimentation.

 

You can help by simply running a piece of software. You can donate your processor's spare cycles (when it's not computing for you) to the Folding@Home project. People from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world.

 

Visit Folding@Home to download the software and join teams like Dynastream Ltd (Dynastream_UK/98571).
