Description

Excellent work on the previous Hold it! puzzle! After austinday analyzed your solutions, we've made a few changes to the setup for this new round. In particular you should try to: 1) avoid mutations to Arginine, Lysine, Aspartate, and Glutamate. 2) make at most three hydrogen bonds at the very tip of the ligand. 3) make even more ideal hydrogen bonds. When they are unideal, you'll notice the unideal angles will appear as red lines. The green line near them shows a more ideal angle! We're starting you off with some interesting designs that came out of the previous round so you don't have to start from scratch. Again, we don't know if it's possible!

One of the difficulties in playing this puzzle is that as you get the bond close to the desired angle, the programme automatically switches the alignment triangle over to another bond which is further out of line than the one you are working on. This, amongst other things, drives you mad.

Would it be possible to implement in the 'conditions' section a seperate line for each bond, along with a 'show' check box for each bond…and have the traingle alignment tool remain with the selected bond ?
