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 puzzle comes from PDB entry 2NTZ, and has a few pieces of DNA in addition to protein.
