This release has an improved UI and the option to control all the machines you have running Folding@home from a single webpage
Happy new year!
2024 was a productive year, and 2025 stands to be even more exciting!
Our thanks to everyone who helped, and some reflections: https://t.co/hUZAsql05S
Too many requests for money this Giving Tuesday?
Consider giving your spare CPU/GPU cycles to advance biomedical research instead!

Woohoo, our paper on the mechanism of a G protein inhibitor that is specific to one family of G proteins is out! Nice collab with the Blumer nad @AndreaSoranno labs

Its always fun to see how natural selection uses everything at its disposal, including rare protein structures that are hard to even detect. Even when this cryptic pocket is only open ~2% of the time, its still performing an important function.
This cryptic pocket has a function!
The VP35 protein from Ebola virus performs multiple functions. We wanted to know if it toggles between different conformations that are responsible for different functions.
It does!

When it comes to the intersection of AI and life sciences, there are few more qualified to tell the story than @vijaypande.
In 1999, Vijay started working on Folding@Home, when the internet was still new, harnessing the power of volunteers’ PCs to help scientists develop new therapeutics. 👇
2/ I recently joined the AI + @a16z podcast, to discuss this plus:
* My work developing the @foldingathome, a distributed computing project to harness global computational power for biological research
