Description

The goal of this puzzle is to build a high-quality model of the ethanolamine utilization protein from the bacteria Escherichia coli. This protein allows bacteria with this protein to metabolize ethanolamine and use it in constructing cell walls and cell membranes. The C-terminus of this protein is disordered in the starting model, but the rest of the protein is fairly close to the correct answer.
