Description

The structure of this protein-DNA complex 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 is part 2 of the Watson-Crick vs Hoogsteen question posed in Reconstruction Puzzle 84, now starting with a Watson-Crick base pair. Also, a reminder of the useful note from Bletchley Park for working with DNA: DNA sidechains can be turned relative to their blue arms with bands.
