Description

We are giving you this currently unsolved protein as an extended chain. Use all your skills to fold it up as best as you can. The secondary structure predictions are posted in the puzzle comments, but we have included them in the starting structure as well.

As requested in the feedback, http://fold.it/portal/node/989298 these secondary structure predictions have been pre-loaded into this freestyle puzzle.

Here is the sequence logo predicted by the SAM server.

H = helix
E = sheet
C = loop (or coil)

The taller the letter at each position, the higher the probability of that specific secondary structure for that amino acid.

For example, the amino acid Leucine at residue 83 is highly predicted to be part of a sheet. However, the Phenylalanine at residue 29 is equally predicted to be in a sheet or loop (so it's probably not in a helix!).
