Beginner BeginnerThis is a small symmetric trimer design puzzle. A symmetric protein relies not only on how well folded each part is, but also on how well they interface together. Your changes will be reflected in the symmetric unit. Make sure you have completed Intro Puzzle 5-2, and 7-1 through 7-4. For players with fewer than 150 global points.

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,
- Movin' Along,
- Control over Clashing,
- Intro to Design,
- Swappin' Sidechains,
- Mass Mutate,
- Insertion and Deletion
before starting this puzzle.
Hi, as NON beginner I'm getting 11900 points, but it appears that the mutate-Button wan't give the usual results - in No. of hydrophobics. Manual mutation to hydrophobics is working, but gives less points.
Q: Something wrong in this puzzle settings?
Thanks for the note WBarme1234! One of the recent updates changed how scoring works in Foldit, and the puzzles need to be tweaked accordingly. The Beginner puzzles slipped through the cracks, and that's why you're seeing this weird behavior. We may leave this puzzle as is, for the sake of convenience, but when it is recycled, the weird behavior should be corrected.
