Description

This is a small (50 residue) symmetric dimer design puzzle. We saw some very interesting structures in the smaller 20 and 30 residue freestyles. Using 50 residues puts this in the realm of a full-scale protein domain, and docking large secondary structure motifs becomes more viable. Remember, a symmetric protein relies not only on how well folded each part is, but also on how well they interface together.

This puzzle's deadline has been extended due to the heavy load of CASP10 puzzles this week.

I'd like to see them too :)
