If you are new to Foldit, here are detailed instructions to get you started:

If you want to fold proteins, know that there are many way to play and this variety is the main value of Foldit :

  • try all puzzles not only "beginners" one,
  • fold first the ones you like the most,
  • try by yourself to understand what works and what doesn't,
  • ask for tips in global when you think you doesn't understand something.

Make sure you have followed these tutorials:

  • lonely sheets,
  • lock and lower,
  • rebuild,
  • structure and rebuild,
  • control over clashing
    before starting this puzzle.

We had to close Puzzle 733 as there was a bug causing cutpoints to misbehave, here is a feedback related to it: http://fold.it/portal/node/995370
This puzzle should behave correctly, no different than normal puzzles.
We apologize for this issue.
