Just ran across this on Sciencedaily and immediately thought that it's an ingenious idea. I never thought that you could approach protein folding in a manner such as this... downloading it right now.
Computer Game's High Score Could Earn The Nobel Prize In Medicine
A new game, named Foldit, turns protein folding into a competitive sport. Introductory levels teach the rules, which are the same laws of physics by which protein strands curl and twist into three-dimensional shapes -- key for biological mysteries ranging from Alzheimer's to vaccines.
