Folding@Zelaron (Cure Cancer with your computer!)

How the fuck am I on this list? Did you pull it from somewhere? I don't use Folding@home, or at least I used to with my PS3.

I just pulled the information straight from here -> http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...teamnum=143204

Anyone know if the protein folding has led to anything? I've been folding every year since 2012 about 3 times out of the year for about a month each time. So I would like to see some reassurance that it's not just a waste of the electricity which is expensive here.

It's more like populating an information data bank for researchers to (freely) utilize than actually solving specific problems. The folding itself isn't likely to accomplish anything, it's the research and the researchers who use the data that will accomplish that.

I failed here. I didn't even think about checking Wikipedia.

However, I understand what you mean. I suppose I'll keep folding then as there's nothing wrong with a large bank of data for scientists.
