Description

We are finally giving you more freedom with the Flu Puzzles, by letting you modify the structure of the small protein that binds to the flu virus (you can still mutate the sidechains). The Flu Virus is still frozen. If you are new to Foldit, make sure you have completed Intro Puzzle 5-2, & 7-1 through 7-4. See the puzzle comments for more info about these Flu Puzzles.
