Description

This is the first CASP10 Refinement Target. This model was the best server prediction for target T0644, generated by the SAM-T08 server. We've been told that ~85% of this model matches the native, so you just need to find which 15% to refine! More info in the puzzle comments. For players with fewer than 15 global points.

You'll notice that indeed that previous puzzle had a register shift (assuming this starting model is correct in that region).

Note that the organizers give us this as a hint:

"Starting model's GDT_TS=85. Residues 1-25 are absent from the experimental structure and deleted from the model."

So, unfortunately the first 25 residues have been deleted (and we'll never know where that helix goes, it was probably a transmembrane anchor.) Therefore residue #1 on this puzzle corresponds to residue #26 on the previous versions.

GDT_TS=85 essentially means that 85% of the model superimposes correctly onto the native structure:
