Description : Folding@home Client (install package)

Folding@home performs research by simulating the folding processes
of proteins, RNA and synthetic polymers. The results of the simulations
are sent to Stanford university who release them to the biochemical
community. Protien misfoldings are implicated in diseases such as
Alzheimer's, cyctic fibrosis and others. By contributing, your
computers' idle time will work towards an understanding of these
diseases.
