Well,Protein is one of the major compound in our body.These protein requires to carry out important functions in our body.They assemble them selves(change them selves) before they carry out their process.This process is called 'Folding'.
When these proteins do not fold correctly,it causes for many diseases like cancer,HIV,...etc.
So the main object of this project is to establish one of the largest super computers in the world..This can be done by downloading the software and running it.When we run the program it automatically downloads the work packets and start to simulate them.Finally this programme automatically send the results about the folding of the protein...
So they will be able to find cures for many diseases by viewing those results...
This project is currently managed by the Pande group,within Stanford Universities chemistry department.
It would be a great service to mankind,if you join this project and millions of people are already working in this project....
You can see the awards this project has achived...
