Folding@home – Fighting disease with a world wide distributed . . . what’s FOLDING? “Folding” in our community refers to running simulations of proteins, the molecular machines that perform most of the active processes we associate with life, from muscle contraction to sensing light and digesting food
Folding@home - Wikipedia Folding@home (FAH or F@h) is a distributed computing project aimed to help scientists develop new therapeutics for a variety of diseases by the means of simulating protein dynamics This includes the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins, and is reliant on simulations run on volunteers' personal computers [5]
Folding - definition of folding by The Free Dictionary folding - the process whereby a protein molecule assumes its intricate three-dimensional shape; "understanding protein folding is the next step in deciphering the genetic code"
