Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This small peptide is part of a larger protein that helps to regulate cell division, and is very important in early embryonic development. The protein is modeled here as in a reduced environment, so no disulfide bonds are expected to form. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been.

and it certainly is recurrent.

I wonder how many times the same issue has to appear B4 the fix is done when the puzzle is posted.

Even when the puzzle is posted late.

glad we have the same weekend special again. Can we have a new one next weekend please. Only good thing is that I will be top 10 on 1335 this weekend LOL. Also, totally unranked on 1337.

Bruno – of course it would be different. Question right now is do you want points or a science answer. Your recipe works fine

This is like a semi-disordered protein.
Reading this paper in Forum (http://fold.it/portal/node/2003337) I'm wondering if we would have more chance to find (with Foldit points) a better possible "structure" if the context (molecule or other protein) were given.
May be a question for Science Chat instead.
