I thought this was a protein folding project to help find cures for diseases. Now i'm getting RNA fragments - what's the point?

See thread on Science board with same title as yours.

Bottom line is that the team in the Baker lab are working on a number of projects that are all related to similar science. And understanding RNA will help cure other diseases and defects.

RNA can be incorporated or involved in protein structure too, of course. Proteins, RNA, DNA etc do not exist in isolation in a cell, and they can affect each other to greater or lesser extents.
