Dear Protein Folders:

An exciting new scientific based game is soon to be released by some of the alums of the Foldit team. EteRNA is using the immense power of gamers to understand life at a cellular level by blending citizen and experimental science into a new on-line experience. You play EteRNA by designing RNAs. Top designs will be continually synthesized in the lab and your score reflects how well your or similar designs fold experimentally:

Foldit players have an immense insight into protein folding. The people behind EteRNA are excited to see what scientific discoveries would be uncovered if that insight was applied to RNA folding. So they've reserved some beta-testing spots just for Foldit members!
