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.
