Folding@home And Curing Disease


Recommended Posts

"It takes about a year and costs about $120,000 to obtain the structure of a single protein through X-ray crystallography, according to an estimate from the University of Toronto. More recently, two other experimental methods—nuclear magnetic resonance and cryogenic electron microscopy—have also been used."

So, I have donated $82,800,000 worth of protein folding at this point for Cancer Research.

I have been folding for years with no regrets!

I have three family members who have diseases I can help cure by continuing to run the software. 😄
