I have seen something like this before - gamers solving a protein configuration problem. Very, very many proteins (or other molecules) interact by "fitting" into/against other proteins or biomolecules, thereby making the "receptors" act on the signal that the agonists are trying to transmit. This is often a chain reaction, and gives a final outcome that is either desired (caffeine displacing adenosine from a receptor, thereby making you less sleepy), or undesired, like a virus getting entry into a cell, and enabling it to multiply.
