Description

This is a follow-up to Puzzle 1691: De-novo Freestyle 154, now with C2 symmetry. This protein was originally designed in the Baker Lab to bind to a different protein, but some lab results suggests the protein binds to itself as a dimer. In Puzzle 1691, we challenged the Foldit community to try and predict how the design might fold as a single, monomeric chain. Now we want to see if Foldit players can predict how the protein might fold and bind to itself with C2 symmetry. Players may load in solutions from Puzzle 1691. Secondary structure predictions (from PSIPRED) are marked on the starting structure, and provide clues about where the protein might form helices and sheets!
