 Rosetta @ home is a distributed computing project for protein structure prediction on the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing ( BOINC ) platform , run by the Baker laboratory at the University of Washington . Rosetta @ home aims to predict protein – protein docking and design new proteins with the help of about sixty thousand active volunteered computers processing at over 110 teraFLOPS on average as of November 20 , 2015 . Foldit , a Rosetta @ Home videogame , aims to reach these goals with a crowdsourcing approach . Though much of the project is oriented towards basic research on improving the accuracy and robustness of the proteomics methods , Rosetta @ home also does applied research on malaria , Alzheimer 's disease and other pathologies .
