Folding@home DaW team


Folding @ Home may seem complicated when you look and read about it but really it isn't at all. Folding @ Home is funded by Stanford University. What they did instead of getting a super computer which costs millions of dollars is made a deal with Sony. This software studies the foldings and misfoldings of proteins which can cause cancer and many other diseases. So Stanford sends a little bit of a model of folding and misfolding proteins. Your PS3 runs the model through and then sends all of the information back to Stanford in which case they send your PS3 another model. So in its simplest form Folding @ Home can cure cancer. As my friends and I have theorized not only does "Folding Home" help Stanford but it also helps boost your internet connection for online play. Please join our Folding @ Home team. The team number is 118417. To join the team go into your Folding @ Home application. Hit triangle and go to identity. Then click join team. Next type in the team number you want to join (118417) and click ok
