Description

In this puzzle we are trying to determine the best locations to place two linked residues on the surface of Influenza H3 Hemagglutinin. We have given you distance constraints because we know the general region in which we want you to place to residues. However, we don't know exactly where is the best spot; look for good hydrophobic pockets or residues to make strong hydrogen bonds to. If you are new to Foldit, make sure you have completed Intro Puzzle 5-2, and 7-1 through 7-4 before trying this puzzle. For players with fewer than 15 global points.
