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. There are two chains in this puzzle that have the same sequence.

Looks like two chains this time:

sdklellldiplkvtvelgrtrmtlkrvlemihgsiieldkltgepvdilvngkliargevvvidenfgvriteivspkerlell    (1 -  85)
sdklellldiplkvtvelgrtrmtlkrvlemihgsiieldkltgepvdilvngkliargevvvidenfgvriteivspkerlellne (86 - 172)

Once again AA Edit and other recipes fail to detect the chains, but soon….

So both the puzzle description and the sequence quoted in the description are incorrect. The chains are not identical. Chain #1 is lacking the 'ne' end. So chain #1 is 85 residues and chain #2 is 87 residues.
