Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This spinach protein is critical for photosynthesis, and participates in the electron transfer chain within the chloroplast. The protein is modeled here in the reduced state, so no disulfides are expected to form. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been.
