It explains on the project page:
You basically download a program that downloads work units, crunches them, and submits the work done back to the server. You then get another work unit.
There's many different clients for different people, including screensavers for desktop computers, and full programs that run on Linux/Mac/Win.
I've tried it a little bit, but at the moment my server can't run all day so it's too much work. But I'm planning to do it once I rewire my home.

You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@Home is a distributed computing project -- people from through out the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer makes the project closer to our goals.

Its not a mystery. Its due to the polar interactions from the hydrogen and phosphate bonds - they cause the tertiary structure to fold
I will maybe give it a go - I have run SETI at home before, that was fun
