Google: A good source of protein

Complex molecules get the distributed computing treatment...

By Will Sturgeon

Google has joined the growing number of distributed computing ventures by inviting 500 Windows users to try out a new version of its toolbar which enables their machines to donate spare processing power to a supercomputing project.

Folding@home, being run by Stanford University, is attempting to generate enough processing power to complete an investigation into how genetic information is converted into proteins.

Google users will be following projects such as the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (Seti) which uses the P2P (peer-to-peer) model to find life in alien galaxies.
