Snowflakes, Revisited

While the weather outside here at Foldit Central looks like anything but a “white winter holiday”, we remain committed in our efforts to bring some snowfall to campus. As I'm posting this, the weather outside has been steadily raining through the afternoon here in Seattle.

Some of you may remember our challenge two seasons ago, Puzzle 825: Snowflake Design. Now that our community is more skilled at Foldit, we’re not just revisiting this effort, but we have also made a few notable adjustments to make things a little more challenging for all of you.

You can read about some of the details here, including the use of the H-bond Network Filter this year for an extra festive touch.

Submit your best "protein snowflake" using the Upload for Scientists button and the Foldit team will post their favorite snowflakes on the blog (and probably announce them at our next science chat in January) once everyone has returned from the holidays.

Good luck and see you in 2016!
