Foldit Puzzles
Play puzzles to help scientific research and compete with other players. New puzzles are posted every week.
-
Puzzle "Loop Out of Place" is from the second year of Foldit, as we look back at the last 5 years. There is a particular loop that needs to be fixed in this puzzle.
-
Puzzle "Designer Protein Top7" is from the first year of Foldit, as we look back at the last 5 years. This protein has 92 residues and was the Baker Lab's first successfully designed protein.

This round only GUI scripts are allowed and sharing has been disabled. After this puzzle expires, the puzzle will be re-posted and LUA scripts and sharing will be allowed. You'll be able to load in your solutions from this puzzle and use scripting and sharing. The secondary structure predictions are provided on the starting model, with more details posted in the puzzle comments.

We are giving you a 76 residue symmetric dimer to design. This is a multi-start puzzle, with three starting points that you will cycle through when you reset the puzzle. There are two filters enabled on this puzzle. The ResidueIE filter ensures PHY, TYR, and TRP residues are scoring well. The "Core Exists" filter ensures the number of residues in the core is at least 30%.

This is Round 2 for Puzzle 703. You will be able to load in your manual saves from 703 and use them as a starting point here. This puzzle has been opened up to allow for sharing and the use of all scripts. See if you can improve your model from the first round using these tools! Unlike Puzzle 703, the secondary structure predictions are provided on the starting model, with more details posted in the puzzle comments.
-
This is a throwback puzzle to the infancy of Foldit. This protein helps control cell growth.
