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.

Much like the fatally flawed 2672, this puzzle is a match for PDB 1XA6. The experiment for 1XA6 ended up with a long section of missing residues in the middle of the chain. As a result, Foldit recipes see two chains, one before the gap and one after the gap.

In 2672b, the sides of the gap are not connected, so there's no puckering.
