The Bowman Lab Rig
Folding@home is an unmatched resource for running molecular dynamics simulations on a massive scale. The need for significant computational resources doesn’t end with data generation though, as analyzing all the…
Read moreNew software release!
We’re delighted to announce the full release of our new client software! We named this release “Bastet” after the Ancient Egyptian goddess associated with protection from disease. You can download…
Read moreTowards physics-based precision medicine
The goal of precision medicine is to utilize our knowledge of the molecular causes of disease to better diagnose and treat patients. In the precision medicine framework, diseases are subdivided…
Read moreHow does ApoE cause Alzheimer’s disease?
A number of active projects on Folding@home right now aim to understand how different forms of the protein apolipoprotein E (ApoE) determine one’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease…
Read moreAlphaFold opens new opportunities for Folding@home
Folding@home has long sought to understand how proteins self-assemble, or fold, into their functional structures and what the functional implications of dynamics within the context of a folded protein are.…
Read moreNew Folding@home software in beta
The beta release of our new client software is going well. Thanks to everyone who has tried it out and given us feedback! If you haven’t already, you can download…
Read moreUnraveling the Mystery of Drug Specificity: The Case of Blebbistatin
When it comes to designing novel drugs, achieving specificity is a major challenge. An effective drug must bind tightly to its target protein while avoiding unwanted side effects that can…
Read moreUnraveling the Secrets of G Protein Activation: A Molecular Odyssey
G proteins are essential molecular players in the intricate symphony of cellular signaling. From our vision to our sense of smell, neurotransmission to cell growth, G proteins are at the…
Read moreUpdate to points for incomplete WUs
Due to increasing problems with a small group of users intentionally  causing assigned work units to fail we’ve eliminated points for  incomplete work units.  We’ve also imposed stricter requirements for  bonus points.  Neither…
