Description

We designed a helix to contact our substrate, but the helix needs back up to stay in place. The goal of this puzzle is to design a loop and mutate residues to create a more stable configuration, making a more active catalyst (ie create a Helix-Loop-Helix).

I cannot mutate segment insert on one end of the helix and I cannot delete segment ?

We do not want you to change Alanine 54 or Glycine 55, however you are free to move the backbone there in order to make the helix move into a better position.

You cannot delete any residues, but you may add 0-5 residues anywhere between residues 44-54.
