Join the other members of Supraforums and Supramania in the “Folding Supras” team. It’s a fun way to help cure disease, and it won’t cost you anything.

Q: What is Folding?
A: Folding is the process that proteins go through to divide. When folding goes wrong, the results are syndromes, diseases, and cancers.
Q: What is Folding at Home?
A: Folding at Home is a tiny, little program that sits in the background of your computer and calculates bits of folding process information. When it’s done it uploads the results to scientists at Stanford.
Q: Are there performance/bandwidth issue?
A: Almost none. The way the program is designed, it only uses spare computer cycles. When surfing the internet, typing in Word, even playing games, you aren’t even using a fraction of your computer’s processing power. I can run half-life 2 with F@H running (default usage level) and I won’t drop even a single frame per second. Bandwidth is the equivalent of only about 1 webpage per day. You will never know it’s there.
If you would like to download the application and join the Supras team, go here: http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html

There are a couple of folding sub-groups within the Folding Supras teams. These are great for in-team competitions. Or you can just use your handle on the forums.
