Folding@home is a distributed computing project that studies protein folding and misfolding.

Folding@home (F@h) simulates the motion of proteins — the molecular machines whose shape determines what cells can do, and whose failures drive disease. Research labs around the world design the simulations; volunteers around the world donate spare cycles on their computers to run them. Together they've produced over 200 peer-reviewed papers and, in 2020, briefly built the first exaflop computer in history.
