Us , geeks, how we can help ?
The Folding at Home project (https://foldingathome.org/ ) uses sharing computer calculation power for research against diseases.

I was a structural biologist a long time ago. It's not fake, and it's a nice thing to contribute your processor cycles to, but also don't expect results from it any time soon.

The problem Folding@Home is trying to overcome is Levintha's Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levinthal%27s_paradox

Another project you can get involved in is FoldIt: https://fold.it/, which has a game element and gives a feel for what protein folding is.
