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. This protein has two identical chains, but the visible residues are not identical.

Once again this puzzle also has scoring bug with trim & untrim on terminal segments. for me selecting the following segments: 1, 141,142, 271 then doing a trim and untrim led to a total point loss of -220.569 points.
This still makes using the trim tool unusable for point gains.
