Description

This is a throwback puzzle to the early days of Foldit. This protein is a pheromone from the protozoan Euplotes. We are revisiting old Foldit puzzles so we can see how useful the recent additions to the game have been. Players will NOT be able to load in any previous solutions for these puzzles.

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 ways to play and this variety is the main value of Foldit:

  • try all puzzles not only "beginner" ones,
  • 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.

A previous version of this puzzle was posted as Puzzle 792, but was cancelled due to a saving/loading bug. The bug has since been resolved, so we are reposting the puzzle.

799 has the word default floating around on the ap playing surface; I was asked if I wish to Delete the track; I wasnt using a track nor did I have tracks open. I seem to go in and out of a state where I can not do anything on the puzzle.
