What does the graphical protein display show me?

My (very limited) understanding of the Rosetta program is that it explores all of the possible ways that a protein molecule can be folded, in order to find an optimum or preferred configuration.
But the graphic merely shows the molecule being rotated on various axes - it does not appear to be folded at all.
Does anyone understand the relationship between the function of the Rosetta program and the graphical molecule display?

Re: What does the graphical protein display show me?

I am beginning to suspect that there is very little correlation between what is shown on the display screen and what the Rosetta program is actually doing. For example, the graphical display continues to rotate even when the program is not executing, and the graphs being charted on the left of screen continue to progress without interruption even when the picture of the protein molecule is changed. It's disappointing that we are being given a false facade that hides what is really happening behind it.

I may be wrong, but I think that the proteins are folded too many times per second in order for displaying each fold in the graphical display to be viable. Especially since the display only updates every 2.5 seconds.

Thus, you're just shown the protein which is currently being tested.
