Hi, I just got into the EVGA world and wanted to know what folding is. I looked on the website and the manual, but none of them say what it is. So can someone please explain what folding is?

    Hi and welcome.
    The video on the FaH homepage gives a pretty good explanation of it. It's the study of folding and miss-folding proteins. Miss-folding proteins is where the trouble begins and studying why they miss-fold can lead to a better understanding of the disease's we battle and developing drugs to battle them.
     
    We have a team here and there are many others as well. We use our hardware and electricity to help the cause.
    Hope that helps a little.

    New post is new post, no matter the threads original age. Sad that the beta is still current and yet so old.

    Someone asked a new question.
    Technically a thread hijack, but whatever. It's happened before and will happen again. It's the thread the never ends. It just goes on and on my friend. Rofl
