Focuscanada.net Has A Folding@home Team

Well, it downloads a dataset and a working (background) program. It uses the program to run some algorithms against the data in the dataset to simulate the "folding" of proteins. How proteins "misfold" determines whether or not people get cancer, Parkinson's Disease, and other wonderful facts of life.

I'm new to this program / project, so I don't understand as much of the back-end science as I do about the Oxford University cancer research project being run through Grid.org.

The supporting science and math involved in the "looking" is developed and continually improved by Dr. Vijay Pande and his Pande Group of scientists and programmers.
