Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This protein recruits components of the immune system, and normally keeps white blood cells concentrated in the lymph nodes. However, it also plays a part in the inflammatory response, when immune cells are required to fight an infection. This protein contains four cysteines that oxidize to form two disulfide bonds. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been and to provide newer players with easier puzzles that are still scientifically relevant.

There seems to be some mismatch between the description and the puzzle. The description has 70 segments and two disulfide bonds; the puzzle has 48 segments and five disulfide bonds. FYI.

Here I was going to joke that there's always more than one mouse. There are two "mouse" revisiting puzzles, but this is not one of them. Instead, it appears to be a repost of revisiting puzzle 93. We just wrapped another revisit to that puzzle today (2346), so it's a little soon. Not sure if the Foldit team will post the correct puzzle or let it roll.
