Like Dogs Rule said, folding@home uses the processor in your computer or ps3 to simulate protein folding.

Taken from the folding@home website: "Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." "

Little is known about this protein folding, so more knowledge is hoped to contribute to cures for many diseases.
