Predictor@home is a distributed computing project that uses BOINC and is run by the Scripps Research Institute to predict protein structure from protein sequence in the context of the 6th biannual CASP, or Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction. A major goal of the project is the testing and evaluating of new algorithms to predict both known and unknown protein structures. The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a distributed computing infrastructure intended to be useful to fields beyond SETI. It is being developed by a team based at the University of California, Berkeley led by the project director of SETI@home, David Anderson. ...
The Scripps Research Institute, in La Jolla, California is home to notable chemists such as K. Barry Sharpless and P. G. Schultz, as well as neurobiologist Gerald Edelman, and Nobel Laureate Kurt Wurtrich. ...

CASP, which stands for Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction, is a contest for protein structure prediction taking place every two years. ...
Predictor@home is complementary to Folding@home. Whereas the latter aims to study the dynamics of protein folding, Predictor@home aims to specify what the final tertiary structure will be. Also, the two projects differ in the infrastructure they use. Predictor@home uses BOINC, whereas Folding@home maintains its own separate infrastructure, but plans on transitioning to BOINC and is currently operating a beta test under the BOINC architecture. The Microsoft Windows Folding@Home client displays a 3D model of the protein being simulated. ...
Protein folding is the process by which a protein structure assumes its functional shape or conformation. ...
In biochemistry, the tertiary structure of a protein is its overall shape. ...
