FAH's achievements in 2015, with a glimpse into 2016
We’re reaching the end of 2015 and as in previous years, I’d like to summarize for donors what Folding@home (FAH) has done in 2015 and where we’re going. In general,…

New paper on peptoid helix folding from the Voelz Lab
Nature relies on the remarkable folding properties of proteins and nucleic acids to perform vital chemical work. Not surprisingly, synthetic chemists have long set their sights on developing non-natural molecules—called…
