_____________________________



If you want to fold proteins, know that there are many ways to play and this variety is the main value of Foldit :

- try all puzzles not only "Beginners" ones,

- fold first the ones you like the most,

- try it by yourself to understand what works and what doesn't,

- ask for tips in global chat when you think you don't understand something.



Make sure you have followed these tutorials:

- Lonely Sheets,

- Lock and Lower,

- Rebuild,

- Structure and Rebuild,

- Control over Clashing,



before starting this puzzle.

I think the Foldit game was fun but the instruction was confusing to me. It did help me a bit about the protein structure and folding, but the ddesign part was confusing. To improve the game, I would recommend to put a clear instructions on what to do when the puzzle popped out.
