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.

once again puzzle #2636 also has scoring bug with trim & untrim on terminal segments. for me selecting the following segments: 1, 36, 37, 70, 71, 109, 110, 183, 184, 227 then doing a trim and untrim led to a total point loss of -530 points.
weirdly segments 35, and 182 gave me a 12.379 total point gain.

the following recipe can be used to find the segment index for these issues. it will show a false positive for segments next to the terminal segment because it still gets trimmed.

Thank you for reporting this, bravosk8erboy… hopefully we can figure out what is going on with the Trim Tool.

NOTE: this puzzle was incorrectly opened for 1 extra day, which is why the closing date has been correctly updated to July 24th. Sorry for this mistake.
