Description

Ustilago maydis is a fungal pathogen of maize, some strains of which secrete killer toxins. This is a short 79-residue protein for new players to try out after completing the Introductory Puzzles. The native is shown as a guide on this puzzle, so try using everything you have learned in the Intro levels to match the native fold. This puzzle is designed for veteran Foldit players to help new players, and since it was up recently this version of the puzzle is only worth 10 global points.
