Description

Our lab is currently developing a novel biological route to convert CO2 and electrical energy into gasoline and diesel fuels but we need your help! Please remodel the tail of this enzyme so that it closes over the active site. Learn more about all this in the new blogpost: http://fold.it/portal/node/989384

The fixed part of the puzzle has several long straight elements that look to me like position coding errors. One such element runs near the active area and may make the solution useless??? If these aren't errors please tell us what's going on here. Thanks!!

these are just breaks in the chain that Foldit has instead connected with long segments. Since they are occurring in the locked segments, it should not affect your remodeling of the terminus.
