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. It's big, so the Trim tool is recommended. This puzzle comes from PDB entry 2J42. You may find it amusing to check out the title of this particular PDB entry on its webpage: https://www.rcsb.org/structure/2J42

How did we get over a hundred players on this puzzle? There hasn't been a hundred players on any puzzle since… I don't know… since Jesus walked on Earth. Or maybe 2010.
