Off the top of my head:

(200 trillion cost) / (200 million structures predicted) = 1 million per structure.

That reflects the personnel cost (5 Yr PHP scholarship, PostDoc/Prof mentorship; inverstment+depreciation for the lab equipment). All this to crystallize 1 structure and characterize its folding behavior.

I don't know if this calculation is too simplistic, just coming up with something.
