As David Baker mentioned in his most recent blogpost, his lab will experimentally test out at least 3 designs from Puzzle 691.
We want to give you the opportunity to send us your favorite 691 designs. We realize that it might not be your top-scoring solution (there is a feedback about this), so you can send us your favorite manual saves and we will look at them. Details on how to send us your saves are in the comments of this news post. The deadline for submissions is Thursday, May 18th 17:00GMT.
If you want to know what we'll be specifically looking for in order to experimentally validate your designs, please read the Symmetric Protein Design Guidelines blogpost.
Looking forward to seeing all of your great designs.
NOTE: If you submitted your designs prior to 18:00GMT on April 10th, you will need to resubmit the solution.
1) Open up puzzle 691 in Foldit (you can check 'show expired puzzles' on the puzzle menu)
2) Load in the solution you want to share
3) Click the "Menu" button ("Main" in selection mode)
4) Click "Open/Share Solutions"
5) Click "Save Current Solution"
6) For the name, enter "FLAG_691_SUBMIT_1"
7) Click "Save"
8) Select the save you just created and click "Upload for Myself"
9) Repeat steps 2-8 if you want to share more solutions, just change the name to "FLAG_691_SUBMIT_2", "FLAG_691_SUBMIT_3" etc… in order of how good you think each one is.
You can submit as many solutions as you want in this format, but right now we're only guaranteeing to look at your #1 ranked submission.
Remember, the deadline for submissions is Thursday, May 18th 17:00GMT.
Feel free to play around until with your solutions until then. Changes you make will not affect your ranking, but you can work on solutions before you share them with us if you want.
"There was an error getting shared solutions from the server"
Hope it's still uploaded!
Thanks for bringing that up. If the only error you get is "There was an error getting shared solutions from the server" that's okay.
If you get any other error (a popup saying "Puzzle is closed"), try again. If it still doesn't work, then let us know.
