Folding At Home

Folding home fah or f h is a distributed computing project aimed to help scientists develop new therapeutics to a variety of diseases by the means of simulating protein dynamics.

Folding at home. Developed at stanford university in october 2000 folding home is today one of the world s largest computer networks dedicated to finding cures for various diseases from cancer to covid 19. This includes the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins and is reliant on the simulations run on the volunteers personal computers. We would like to show you a description here but the site won t allow us.

It brings together everyday people like you who volunteer to run simulations of protein dynamics on their personal computers. Folding home suddenly went from 30 000 volunteers running the software in february to 400 000 in march another 300 000 users came on board after that. It brings together citizen scientists who volunteer to run simulations of protein dynamics on their personal computers.

Insights from this data are helping scientists to better. This new software will improve the performance of folding home and make it easier to get the community involved in its development. We appologize for the inconvenience but your browser is too old to view the our website.

Learn about our work on sars cov 2 and covid 19. Please update your browser. Folding home is currently based at washington university in st.

By tapping into the massive amount of technical talent available in the folding home community we believe we can produce better software with a more engaging and productive user experience and update that software. Your client software is out of date. Folding home fah or f h is a distributed computing project for simulating protein dynamics including the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins implicated in a variety of diseases.
