Description

This protein was designed in the Baker Lab, but we've had a lot of difficulty solving its crystal structure! Use all your Electron Density folding skills to fit the density as well as you can.

Is it just me, or does the ED data make it look like this monomer is part of some kind of giant polymer barrel?

Interestingly enough, this protein does crystallize such that four monomers arrange into a kind of beta-barrel. However, the protein is monomeric in solution.
