I found this interesting article via slashdot that explains the science behind the Folding at Home project.
I folded my first workunit almost two years ago on June 19, 2007. Since then I’ve contributed about 580 additional WUs by running the F@H client on my various PCs and servers at home (you can see some of my stats at the bottom of my sidebar over to the right).
Back in the day I used to contribute my spare CPU cycles to the SETI@Home project, but I switched. Don’t get me wrong I still think finding alien life would be cool, but folding proteins seems like a nobler, more pressing cause for the time being.
