How to help fight Cancer!

Proteins are the nanomachines of the human body. Before the proteins can actually carry out what they are saposed to do they fold, or assemble themselves. How proteins actually fold still remains a mystery to this day. When proteins do not fold correctly it is very dangerous and many diseases have been linked to this, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. So how can you help? You only have to download the software and run it on your computer. The software is linked to a network of many other computers running the same program. Its kinda cool if you think about it. A band of people are helping to find a cure. To download the software and help visit http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download. I suggest everyone does this and helps find a cure to one of the most deadly diseases. What do you think about protein folding?
