Help fold proteins!

"Foldit is a revolutionary new computer game enabling you to contribute to important scientific research."

Essentially, the human brain is better at predicting 3d protein folds than computers are. So, they made a cool little game

So download (its free!) and play! I also made a cool little group for Mac-Forums, so we can show how awesome we are! Just find it in the groups page and join.

Here is a cool article about it:

When I first read the title, I thought this was going to be about Stanford's Folding@Home project ;P

i am downloading the game now and will try it out later. i have also subscribed to the group you started cheesybanana

I am not a scientist, but have a keen interest in science ever since school

I think I will be downloading that one, especially as they plan to move on to real world proteins soon.

Respect to cheesybanana for such a cool link
