About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about protein focus on two distinct areas: a world record disco dance marathon where the dancer sustained energy with protein shakes, and the Folding@Home distributed computing project that uses spare CPU/GPU cycles to simulate protein folding for disease research. The Folding@Home thread explains how proteins fold and misfold, and invites forum members to join a team to contribute computing power toward curing diseases. These threads highlight protein's role in human endurance and scientific computing, but do not cover broader topics like nutrition, biology, or Windows-specific software beyond Folding@Home.

    VIDEO Disco dancer breaks world record with 131-hour boogie

    Nightclub owner Steve Stevens is nursing tired limbs after breaking a disco world record by dancing non-stop for more than five days. Steve strained his right knee but managed to keep moving for 131 hours. The 35-year-old set off on Tuesday last week and ended on Sunday at his club...

    Join the Discussion: How Folding@Home Uses Spare CPU/GPU Power to Fight Diseases

    So does anyone on the site use Folding@Home? In case you do not know, Folding@Home is a way to use your extra CPU/GPU cycles to help solve protein folding to cure diseases. Now that the human genome has been mapped, scientists are trying to figure out how and why proteins fold - and misfold, in...
