What do you mean?
F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.

Simple answer: NO.

Detailed answer: The purpose of Folding@home is to allow folks to donate resources to research being done by Stanford University scientists, not private research, without the need for the scientific knowledge to conduct on your own projects.

If you follow the link http://pande.stanford.edu/, at the bottom of the page, you'll see three projects supported by the same team of scientists. I recommend you look into OpenMM which can provide software for your own research on your own hardware. A second software source would be gromacs.org which provides similar software which is widely used for similar purposes.

Welcome to the F@H Forum jrhodes,

If you are performing a research and would like to join The Folding@Home Consortium, please send an email to Dr. Vijay (memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=11).

If you are performing your own independent research and wouldn't like to join the Folding@Home Consortium, you could use GROMACS (http://www.gromacs.org/) or OpenMM (https://simtk.org/home/openmm) which is used in FahCores (they perform the required calculations for F@H).
