	Overclockers Australia What is Folding@Home.
		Unfortunately, larger proteins fold slower and thus we need more computers to simulate their folding.
		While the alpha helix folds in 100 nanoseconds, proteins just a little larger fold 100x slower (10 microseconds).
		Try to unravel a fundamental issue in the "protein folding problem" (which itself lies at the heart of a huge amount of modern biomedical research): the fact that thousands of different sequences can all form the same three-dimensional structure.

	Folding At Home - The Basics
		The Stanford Folding At Home project seeks to understand how this process of folding happens in order to better understand what goes wrong and this is where your computer comes in.
		The goal of the Folding At Home project (known from now on as FAH) is to build computer simulations of folding patterns by the use of distributed computing.
		When the algorithm is done simulating the way that tiny period of time in which the protein is folding, you have finished a Work Unit and that Work Unit is sent back to the Stanford servers to be combined with other Work Units in that same progression.

	PROTEIN FOLDING - @home and @watson
		He was talking about protein folding and we two stood there silent for a second marveling at the beauty of nature.
		This self-assembly of proteins into specific 3-dimensional native structures is referred to as protein folding and is critical to the functioning of the proteins as enzymes or antibodies.
		Understanding protein folding is important due to its applications in the field of biomedicine (drug design, Mad Cow disease cause, etc.,) and nanotechnology (self-assembly of nanomachines).

		Those of you who have written term papers in school probably have some idea of how much work writing a paper is. This type of writing requires a lot more and remember, they are writing about an active project they participate in while spending many, many hours working on the software.

	Folding@home - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Folding@home (also known as FAH) is a distributed computing project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding and other molecular dynamics simulations.
		A University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign report dated October 22, 2002 states that FAH distributed simulations of protein folding are demonstrably accurate.
		The folding project is always looking to push the boundaries of technology too, provided that resulting increase in computing power is worth the initial investment.

	MacAddict Forums / Which is "better" Folding at Home, or United Devices cancer project?
		I originally started running Folding at Home on my Macs, just because I couldn't run the United Devices client.
		Like if Folding@Home and the new Grid.org folding project are working on some of the same things.
		At least Folding@Home supports more than just Windows, and has a good command line interface that's fairly easy to understand, and that can send back a work unit without retrieving a new one (useful when you're going to reinstall the OS or things like that).

	PS3 FAQ
		FAH has targeted the study of of protein folding and protein folding disease, and numerous scientific advances have come from the project.
		With these computational advances, coupled with new simulation methodologies to harness the new techniques, we will be able to address questions previously considered impossible to tackle computationally, and make even greater impacts on our knowledge of folding and folding related diseases.
		We can now run calcault ions which were first run on FAH in October of 2000 at about 200x to 500x speed increase -- a pretty amazing feat and something we're very excited about.

	Folding@home
		I guess it remains to be seen if we can pull off MPI on FAH to the point where it works effortlessly, but so far Lin and OSX look pretty good, so we're close.
		Please go to the folding community forum (http://foldingforum.org) and make a post with the jist of your idea and someone from the FAH development team will get in touch with you.
		I wanted to thank everyone for their help to improve FAH clients and the FAH experience in general and hope we can work together to get the needed fixes in.

	Folding Proteins at Home: Computer Users Unlock Medical Miracles \| Stanford Scientific Magazine
		Unfortunately, these errors in protein folding are nearly impossible for other molecules to correct, just as it is extremely difficult to untangle a shoelace which has been knotted hundreds or thousands of times.
		The distributed approach to the “folding problem” necessitated the formulation of complicated new computer algorithms to effectively share the calculations among hundreds of thousands of computers.
		Most importantly, Pande’s group has successfully simulated the folding of several simple proteins, and their results were validated experimentally in the laboratory.

		Accurate simulations of laundry folding and misfolding enable homemakers to better understand crease patterns and their effect on clothing.
		Folding@home does not rely on large laundromats for its laundry processing; instead, the primary contributors to the Folding@home project are many thousands of homemakers who have individual bags of laundry delivered to their homes along with folding instructions, much like the set of instructions to the right.
		The homemaker folds the laundry according to the instructions, and sends it back to the project center for analysis.

		We have founded the project, developed methods for using distributed computing to study long timescale dynamics, pushed its application to protein folding, and wrote the client and server code for the Folding@home project.
		We are grateful for all the work the Folding Community Forum (FCF) moderators have done to keep the FCF running smoothly and to directly help donors run Folding@home -- we are grateful to them all.

		Previous message: [boinc_dev] Scheduler and Folding at Home.
		If set it would cause a workunit to be worked on exculsively even if there is plenty of time before it's deadline, there are workunits with earlier deadlines (but not in deadline trouble) and it would start running as soon as it was downloaded.
		I definately support this addition since otherwise folding at home will most likely never fully use the BOINC platform and will limit BOINC users to a small subset of their project.

	Folding@Home on Multithreaded Windows PCs - Guide - Short-Media
		The goals of the Folding at Home project is to understand how proteins "fold" to gain insight into why these proteins sometimes "mis-fold" and develop into diseases such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, and Parkinson's disease, to name a few.
		In an ideal world, FAH would be multithreaded by nature and all we would need is a single instance of Folding@Home.
		The short of it is that none of the instances will Fold and may cause “unpredictable behavior” which is a polite way of saying it will probably crash your computer.
