Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This protein is part of a metabolic pathway used by bacteria to harvest energy from sugars. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been and to provide newer players with puzzles that are still scientifically relevant.
