that is something new

Since October 2000 the Distributed Computing project Folding@home is running at the Stanford university. It works with a similar structure as SETI@home I. the achievement of many computers otherwise fallow-lying is used, in order to simulate, as certain proteins fold, i.e. like them spatially to arrange itself. It concerns basic research to assist in the understanding of these procedures. One expects of it among other things progress with the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer, Mukoviszidose and the Kreutzfeldt Jakobs.

The scientists of the Pande Group of the chemical faculty of the Stanford university succeeded in 2002 with Folding@home to derive the about 10 microseconds long folding of a protein and obtaining significant agreement with experimentally determined data. For the first time thereby a Distributed Computing project acknowledgment in the scientific professional world won. The science magazine Nature published an article in addition.
