Description

This symmetric design puzzle has C3 symmetry, with three symmetric chains. The H-bond Network Objective encourages players to bury H-bond Networks at the interface between the two 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 are a couple other bonuses 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!

I'm not sure what rotation problem dbuske was describing 
above. It might be similar to what I experienced in Puzzles 
1499 & 1499c. It might be like what Skippysk8s encountered 
last March (https://fold.it/portal/node/2004913), perhaps 
also for Puzzles 1499 & 1499c.

My own experience with Puzzle 1619b is that it is very slow.
Even simple things like Restore Recent Best, scrolling thru 
Chat, and Freeze/Unfreeze have been much slower than usual. 
I got a Recipe to evo a teammate's solution at least. This 
Recipe also ran much slower than usual. I'll probably not 
try to solo on this puzzle.

I did glance at the Rama Map & Blueprint Tool in the 
Original Interface when I started this puzzle. They looked 
normal. I was also able to rotate two of my teammates' 
solutions around to see which residues were already involved 
in hydrogen bond networks. Things behaved fine in my hands, 
but I think all the clients I used were old ones, like from 
September 2018.
