Since this is a journal you may find starting from earlier articles helpful. I have covered a bit about the science, the FoldIT user interface, GUI recipes, and Script recipes. If you give me hints where I could be helpful I will focus in that general direction to my discretion. Currently I am going though the basic concepts of LUA script recipes. Once I get past intoductory LUA scripting I can start exploring the science of folding proteins by using LUA scripts.

Getting Started with FoldIt

I learned about FoldIt from the  University of Washington UWeek online magazine.  The article talked about a new article published Aug. 5 in the journal Nature describing how game playing can help science.  I thoght I'd give it a try.  It's not like other games but it's fund and there is a lively community of people.  I've been folding since then.  You can see my player entry and follow my progress as I learn the ropes and share them with you. If  I can fold proteins and help science while playing a game so can you.
