Nothing complicated.
Basically what Stanford does is utilize everyone's 'excess' computing power to help understand protein folding. You don't need to know what protein folding is other than misfolding causes some of the diseases I listed above. It takes alot of CPU power to perform the calculations.

I hope that helps somewhat.
