Rosetta@Home

Rosetta@Home is a scientific project that uses the power of volunteer computers to help predict the structure of proteins. Proteins are vital to many biological processes, and understanding their shape can lead to advancements in medicine, such as drug design. Volunteers install software on their computers that runs calculations when the device is idle, contributing to simulations that study how proteins fold and interact. By harnessing the collective computing power of many users worldwide, Rosetta@Home accelerates research that could lead to breakthroughs in healthcare and our understanding of diseases.
