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. Previously, we had a puzzle in which there was a Hoogsteen base pair in this structure, but now it has a Watson-Crick base pair instead. Also, a useful note for working with DNA: DNA sidechains can be turned relative to their blue arms with bands.

I wonder if the comparison between this puzzle and the 2496 is valid.
Not only the type of base was changed,but also the dna was at the end for the 2496
and at the beginning for this puzzle.
