Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This toxin is found in green mamba venom, and blocks the flow of calcium ions that normally depolarize the muscle cell to induce muscle contraction. This protein contains six cysteine residues that oxidize to form three disulfide bonds. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been.
