POPSFolding(Proteins)@home-Distributed Computing 
Stanford University is doing valuable protein research spreading the load to thousands of personal computers using unallocated CPU time.It has a low 'status' so all other programs are given priority. I had heard about it but didn't know it was so easy to join. You can be anonymous, have a username, or also be part of a team. where the work done is tallied. I found out about it at the Ubuntu site, so I joined team Ubuntu, but thought there could always be a team clipmarks. I'll leave that with egoldstein, I just joined and have no idea about teams and team numbers. Theres 1 'client' per CPU so dual cores can have 2 (2 teams?) There is a link in the program to show how many proteins have been done. Programs for linux,apple and mac. I don't know about after rebooting. Ubuntu has a script that restarts every reboot Windows may have to run exe again. mac? I can't be sure the username search works from the clip, but if you're interested the top link to Stanford will make a lot more sense

POPSNew Clues to Prion Infectivity The ramifications are primarily this: This is evidence of why CJD has received misdiagnoses so frequently. Cases of Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases are likely to be later identified as as Mad Cow or CJD. Where'd I learn this? Check out my Blog and find out www.OkieLogic.com

POPSBSE CASE CONFIRMED IN BC More recently (April 2007) was found that; Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type II diabetes, the human version of mad cow disease and other degenerative diseases are more closely related at the molecular level. An international team of chemists and molecular biologists reported; „A mystery on which the new Nature paper sheds light is what causes different strains of prions (infectious proteins) in which the protein sequence is identical. Our research gives a strong hypothesis that the origin of prion strains is encoded in the packing of the molecules in the fibrils which we are seeing in the crystals…“

POPSSpiroplasmas, are present in the hemolymph of almost all insects; there probably are several million Spiroplasmas are also within the size range of the agent that transmits CJD and other transmissible Spongiform encephalopathies. Spiroplasmas will pass through a 50 nm-pore filter. The transmissible agent's size has been determined to be 42 nm.Spiroplasmas, are present in the hemolymph of almost all insects; there probably are several million strains. They can also cause diseases in plants but are usually associated with a vector. For example, a leaf hopper carries a spiroplasma that infects orange trees.

POPSNews-Medical.Net 'Understanding how rogue prions kill cells is crucial to learning more about the prion diseases that remain a major concern for public and animal health following the BSE epidemic in UK cattle and the emergence of its human counterpart variant CJD. This work forms part of a major research strategy at the MRC Prion Unit to translate basic research findings into potential treatments in the years ahead. The underlying mechanism by which rogue prion proteins disrupt the UPS may be of wider relevance in understanding how misshaped proteins cause other disorders too, like Alzheimer's disease.''

POPSStanford University Protein Folding Program This is very similar to the Rosetta folding program. Just a different research team. This one also doesn't interfere with your computer's performance. You can configure it to work only when you are not on the computer or at night. I used to use this one before Rosetta. Both are after the same goal, basically.
