Description

This is the fourth puzzle in the poly-proline helix design series! The starting structure is identical to the one in round 3, with an 80 residue protein and an 8 residue helix. The backbone will be frozen to maintain the poly-proline helix secondary structure, but we are now giving you free rein to design the residues on the helix. We want to see how you will satisfy the exposed oxygens on the helix backbone, because proteins that satisfy all internal oxygens with hydrogen bonds have the best chance of folding in the lab.
Happy folding!

Residue Count (max +100)
Penalizes a residue count above 80 by 20 Foldit points per additional residue. The count is capped at 85.
