Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This protein is secreted at the site of inflammation, recruiting monocytes and T cells to help fight an infection. This protein contains four cysteine residues that oxidize to form two disulfide bonds. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been.

1340 not showing up on the puzzle list, even as expired. Different clients, restarts, loaded from the puzzle page, nothing seems to solve it.

Sorry, found it. Marked as expired and just out of sequence. 1338-1340 are just after the beginner puzzles.
