Protein folding is such a complex, amazing, and beautiful phenomena. I have often wondered why someone didn't come up with a program where you can visually play with the globs and get a sense of how the pieces attract and fold. Well, someone has! Last year!
Foldit is a game using distributed computing a la SETI@home, and crowdsourcing. Too cool!

I've seen this for DNA sequencing as well. Fun to play and possibly doing some real good!
