I folded my first Work Unit today...

Anybody else run this?

[Bob Loblaw]

Every once in a while, when I get really lonely, I'll fold the unit @ home.

I've noticed I sleep better.

I also don't fold the unit as much as Zak does.

Yes. Used to have a pretty righteous daily average... but had to turn some systems over to real work.

I fold as part of the Maximum PC team. (11108)

If you look at the map in the link, there looks like there is some folding going on in Iraq,.... The brits do some pretty heavy folding,... in China for all the people, they are way behind in their folding, .... The States folds a hell of a lot, (which may account for the smaller amount in Iraq), ,... and in our region... there is a heavy shit load of folders.

That's the fold report for tonight... we now return you to your regular scheduled thread.

• Our goal: to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases
  
  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 through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals.
  
  Folding@Home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems thousands to millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.
