We are posting an update to the main release. Here are the new features:
- General
- Added visualizations for unideal/cis peptide bonds (Backbone Issues). Clicking these will 'fix' the problem, but modify the global structure.
-
Added behavior option to use older wiggle parameters; some behavior options only show up in the advanced gui.
- Electron Density
-
A 'trim' feature has been added to the electron density panel. Clicking trim will pop up a dialog that allows you to
only show density within the specified distance from the current backbone. - Bug Fixes
- A 'sticky' wiggle bug in symmetric proteins has been fixed.
The new behavior option for wiggle is intended to help with the changes to wiggle causing scripts to run for much longer than previously, and is only meant to be temporary. We plan on eventually removing it once we have a script-based solution to script runtimes.
Some of the changes to wiggle were caused by a recent updating of the biochemistry software, Rosetta, that Foldit is built on. We periodically update this software to make sure that we have the most accurate version. This may sometimes cause changes in gameplay, and we want to balance out the playability of the game with the need for using the most up-to-date and relevant software, so that the time spent playing is most useful for producing scientific results.
In other news, the latest Scientist Chat is now uploaded.
