Protein Folding at Home

I'm donating some of my computer cycles to this project, which I came across while researching some synthetic biology related documents. This isn't the only public domain distributed computing project I'm donating my computer cycle to. I'm signed up into various projects available on the BOINC site, starting from brain mapping to artificial intelligence project I mentioned earlier this year. If you are not doing anything computing intensive (like running mathematica for full scale physics simulation or doing non-stop 3d design), I suggest you to devote some computing cycle to a project you find worthwhile.

These little advances of the sciences using the medium of internet gives me such joy. It is almost enough to make me believe in bright future for the humanity.
