Distributed Folding

The Distributed Folding Project (DFP) is a distributed computing approach to study protein folding. Using protein folding algorithms, billions of protein structures are generated and assigned an energy score. The structure with the best score is predicted as the structure most likely to occur in nature. The DFP has served as an ideal platform to test new protein folding algorithms and to improve existing algorithms. The project works because thousands of generous people donate their unused computer resources to advance science.
