Does anyone use Folding@Home?

"What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease?
Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.
Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.
You can help by simply running a piece of software.
Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved."

I was wondering if we all at Computer Juice could form a team like many others on other forums have.

I was thinking exactly the same thing a couple of days ago.

I'll get onto it if you want

For anyone who wants to fold, we're team number 141845

Will get more details up later. Too busy now.

Can I join from my PS3 to this team of greatness?

My P4 wouldnt provide much benefit to this haha
