Description

This is a protein we've given before in puzzle 2100, which was Reconstruction Puzzle 3, but now we have the Refine Density tool available to make folds even better! Learn about the new tool here: https://fold.it/forum/blog/new-tool-refine-density. We'll also have a workshop on the tool on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdIXuGJkS0A) at 16:00 UTC on this Saturday May 18th.

I don't see older solutions in my sharebox.

[MicElephant]

same problem as Bruno, no old solutions visible

[horowsah]

Thanks for the heads-up, might not be able to get that working for this puzzle so I'll take that out of the description in that case but will look into it again for the next one.

The previous rounds of this puzzle were played on the old Foldit, so they won't be available in the new system.

It may be possible to locate a saved solution if you still have an old Foldit client where you played ED Recon 3. Then that ir_solution file could in theory be copied to a new Foldit. So far, I haven't been able to get that to work, however.

Here's the discussion from IRC:

16:10.13 WBarme1234 Loading from last solution is not working this time! We must wait for another/next puzzle!
16:12.12 LociOilingIRC yes, not seeing any previous work
16:12.48 LociOilingIRC I wonder if ED recon 3 was back on old Foldit, have to check the dates
16:15.20 LociOilingIRC puzzle 2100 ended 2 February 2022, which means it was on old Foldit
16:16.14 LociOilingIRC puzzle 2143 ended 12 May 2022, same conclusion, new system launched in September 2022

Well, that idea didn't work. I started up an old Foldit, found my best from puzzle 2100, and made a brand new save.

Copied the new ir_solution file over to a new Foldit. It does not appear in open/share solutions on the new Foldit, even after a restart.

I also tried copying the various ir_puzzle files for 2100 from old to new. This also did not work, there's still no previous solution visible.

My guess is that old and new are just not compatible.

When I first watched the above video, I kept hoping there would be a split screen with images from before and after using the Refine Density tool.

[apetrides]

@jeff101 the video above was a live demo streamed on our youtube, so there wasn't really the opportunity to edit the video in such a way that this would be possible. however, if you check out our blog post regarding the new feature that contains side by side images that show how improved density might look after using the rephase tool. in general we anticipate there will be a learning curve for identifying what density is "better" or "worse" to the naked eye.

Since I'm preparing some Foldit screenshots for edu materials, here's another before/after comparison of puzzle 2457 that may show more contrast with fewer segments, in case it's still useful here:
