Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This scorpion toxin is similar to the one from Puzzle 55, and binds to voltage-gated ion channels of insects. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been.

Would you PLEASE mention in the puzzle description that we are supposed to find disulfides in the protein ! This is the so-manieth time I have not noticed that disulfides are present and we need to make bridges. Thank you.
