Thanks guys...

Your understanding is correct... however there are many many proteins for the project to study and some have said that it could see out the century (though no-one knows exactly)

Just to clarify, that's for Folding@home. For Rosetta@home, it's more or less 'forever ongoing' right?

Many thanks for both of your replies! From what I understand, Folding@home concentrates more on the simulating all the possible folding combinations, while Rosetta@home looks at building and trying out new proteins. Does this mean that Folding@home will reach a point (perhaps in the near future?), w...

Assuming infinite CPU/RAM/HD speed, would we be able to almost instantly cure many diseases, or would further research need to be undertaken after we've perfectly simulated every protein fold we could dream of? I'm guessing the latter. In fact, are there any 'instant' cures/applications if CPU speed...
