Protein structure prediction - Protein structure prediction is one of the most significant technologies pursued by computational structural biology and theoretical chemistry. It has the aim of determining the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences.

Quantitative structure-activity relationship - QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship, sometimes the A stands also for affinity = reactivity) is the quantitative correlation of the biological (ecological, toxicological or pharmacological) activity to the structure of chemical compounds, which allows the prediction of the so-called "drug efficacy" of a structurally related compound. It is thus closely related to the more general field of QSPR and employs many of the latter's methodology.

CASP - CASP, which stands for Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction, is a community-wide experiment (though it is commonly referred to as a competition) for protein structure prediction taking place every two years.

Predictor@home - 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.
