Description

The structure of this protein has already been solved and published, but close inspection suggests that there are some problems with the published solution. We'd like to see if Foldit players can use the same electron density data to reconstruct a better model. This puzzle contains four copies of the protein.

Similar to ED Recon 18, recipes like AA Edit won't be able to detect the chains in this puzzle.

There are four chains with the sequence:

veqqfdlqkyrqqvrdisredledlfievvrqkmahenifkgmirqgs

All four chains are identical this time.

See PDB 3CS5 for the published solution.

The sequence shown in the puzzle description has MLPPLPDFSLS at the start, but these segments aren't present in the puzzle.

The missing MLPPLPDFSLS section is marked as "unmodeled" the sequence display for PDB 3CS5. The missing section is also listed in the PDB file, under the comment "the following residues were not located in the experiment".
