Description

This is a domain of the human dysferlin protein. Dysferlin is found in muscle cells and associates with the cell membrane, although its exact function is unknown. Mutations in the dysferlin gene can cause a debilitating type of muscular dystrophy. See the blog for more info. Our collaborators at the Jain Foundation would like to model the structure of dysferlin to better understand its function, and have asked Foldit players to help!



The structure of this protein domain is still unknown—fold up the extended chain to find a stable model and increase your score! Secondary structure predictions (from PSIPRED) are marked on the starting structure, and provide clues about where the protein might form helices and sheets!
