Proteins are biology's workhorses --
its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves,
or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many
ways remains a mystery.
Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including
many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's
disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.
You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -
- people from through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest
supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals.

While Benson Polymeric does not have a team presence with Rosetta@home, we find this is also a worthwhile cause.
Rosetta@home needs your help to determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running the Rosetta program on your computer while you don't need it you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer's (See our Disease Related Research for more information). Please join us in our efforts! Rosetta@home is not for profit.
