I was in a similar situation I worked at a startup (which also went under) writing algos to predict protein structures given a minimal set of information (a very hard problem to solve and computationally expensive). Rosetta first showed up on the scene at that time and was a real shot in the arm for the field. One could argue that the game mechanics of Foldit are the most interesting thing we've seen in the structure prediction field in a long time.
