Welcome to the folding support forum.

There is a web page on the folding site linked from The Science link at the top of the page that discusses the various diseases studied in connection with Folding - http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-diseases/. Some are autoimmune diseases, but I do not see hepatitis mentioned. The current and past research may have indirect application to this disease, I don't know enough about it to say.

As for proposing that it be researched, you could post that on the official Reddit page - https://www.reddit.com/r/foldingathome. That is monitored more closely by members of the PG. If it fit in with research someone is doing, someone might start a project connected to this disease.
