Description

This symmetric design puzzle has C3 symmetry, with three symmetric chains. The H-bond Network Filter encourages players to bury satisfied H-bond networks at the interface between the three chains. We've doubled the H-bond network bonus, but we'd like players to focus on building networks deep in the core of the protein complex. There a couple other filters in effect; see the puzzle comments for details. The Baker Lab will run folding predictions on your solutions for this puzzle, and those that perform well will be synthesized in the lab. Remember, you can use the Upload for Scientists button for up to 5 designs that you want us to look at, even if they are not the best-scoring solutions!

Core Existence: Monomer: Ensures that at least 24 residues are buried in the core of the monomer unit.

Core Existence: Complex: Ensures that at least 72 residues are buried in the core of the entire complex (including the interface between monomer units). The threshold of "buriedness" between core and surface residues is more stringent than usual, so residues may have to be "extra buried" to be counted toward the core of the protein complex.

HBond Network: Rewards networks that comprise at least three hydrogen bonds involving core residues. Networks must be at least 75% satisfied (i.e. 75% of all polar atoms in a network must make a hydrogen bond).
