An explanation the actual scientists.

I don't know how many of us there are that would understand an actual scientific explanation of the protein folding project but I would like to hear in detail exactly what method is being used. At the very least and abstract would be nice but preferably a full methods section.

It would be nice to know what your PC was taking so long to work out. I've read all the Chemistry Lesson stuff in http://www.systemsbiology.org/Default.aspx?pagename=humanproteome and from what I can make out we are squiging (technical term) protein chains the human genome project show exist in every human being into the most likely shape that that combination of molecules is going to take in the human body. This will be the output of this task. The results of which will be used by scientists to look for protein shapes from the Human Body and if we and the rosseta app have done a good job - bingo - The scientists will find matches in the human body they will know what that protein is and does therefore they will be able to produce medicines and treatments that bind with these specific proteins to cure all kinds of ailments that afflict mankind today.

I think that's it but it would be nice to really understand what we are doing inside our PC's.

What would also be interesting is what IBM have deployed to enable this project. You know info on server power, internet bandwidth available/used per day. All that kind of thing - the nuts and bolts that hold this project together

Crunching is addictive
