This category is for distributed computing projects. A distributed computing project is a coordinated attack on a particular computational problem, normally open to public participation through the Internet. The organization that wants to solve the problem writes software that divides up the problem into little pieces, then other people download the software and let it run on their computers when they're not doing anything else. A well-known example is SETI@Home, a search through radio signals looking for alien intelligence.
This category contains individual distributed computing projects. If you have a distributed framework (that is, software extensible enough to solve different types of problems) please submit it to the Platforms category instead.
Distributed projects which have finished, and have not started new work for a significant amount of time.
Only concluded projects should be submitted to this category. Otherwise, see the Projects category, or other categories linked from the Distributed Computing category.
Various studies of the geometry and biochemistry of these complex molecules.
There are many distributed projects in protein folding; this category is only for the Pande group''s project at Stanford. If you are not sure your site is related to this specific project, please submit it to the more general category.
The science of using computers to screen for potential drugs from large collections of candidates against targets that have had their structures determined is known as "Virtual Screening."

This category is for projects that primarily or entirely deal with virtual screening.
