Folding

I couldn't decide which was the most appropriate forum to post this, so I will try this one.
I ran across a project being done by Stanford University, via the internet, that is a team oriented distributed computing project that uses 100% of your spare cpu cycles with low priority. It is designed to not interfere with your normal computer operation.
It is scientific research done for Stanford University to learn how proteins fold or mis-fold.
Mis-folded proteins are linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and certain cancers among others.
