Folding@Home

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project that simulates protein folding and other molecular dynamics to help researchers understand how proteins work and how they can malfunction. By donating your unused computing power, you become a citizen scientist contributing to research on diseases like COVID-19, Alzheimer's, cancer, and many others. The project uses your computer to run simulations that help scientists develop new treatments and understand biological processes.
