Protein Folding is considered one of today’s most significant “grand challenge ” problems and, together with other computational chemistry problems, has been one of the driving forces for the development of bigger, better, faster supercomputers. IBM is currently proposing to build the “Blue Gene ” [5], a petaflop computer to tackle the protein folding
