Looked at it a bit more. That’s really cool! They actually want to use people to solve the problem directly:

Figuring out which of the many, many possible structures is the best one is regarded as one of the hardest problems in biology today and current methods take a lot of money and time, even for computers. Foldit attempts to predict the structure of a protein by taking advantage of humans’ puzzle-solving intuitions and having people play competitively to fold the best proteins.

Not sure how we could use people that way for fusion.
