We are again providing you with 3 templates for now, and will give you some server predictions once they are released. Feel free to just work off the starting extended chain if you don't trust the alignments. More details about this CASP target are in the puzzle comments. Due to the size, we're giving you a few extra days to work on this one.

Closed Intermediate Intermediate Intermediate Intermediate Intermediate Intermediate Intermediate Overall Overall Overall Overall Overall Overall Overall Design Design Design Design Design Design Design Symmetry Symmetry Symmetry Symmetry Symmetry Symmetry SymmetryPuzzle 670 is a small (30 residue) symmetric tetramer design puzzle. In other words you will be working with a protein that is made up of 4 symmetric chains. Symmetry becomes complicated when you are working with more than 3 chains. Tetramers, which we learned have 4 chains, can be arranged in a ring (called "C4" symmetry). Or, they can be arranged as a dimer of dimers ("D2" or "two-by-two" symmetry - 2 dimers put together forming a total of 4 symmetric sub-units). The dimer of dimers arrangement is much more common in nature. Keep in mind that symmetric proteins rely on more than just how well-folded each chain is. They also rely on how well the chains interface together. This protein has two fundamentally different interfaces: the interface between chains A and B, and the interface between dimer AB and its partner, CD.

This puzzle starts out asymmetric but needs to be made symmetric. You can move one half of it to make it match the other half, and fit them together!

We are giving you another currently unsolved protein as an extended chain. Use all your skills to fold it up as best as you can. The secondary structure predictions are provided on the starting model, with more details posted in the puzzle comments.

We are giving you 5 server models for this protein. Resetting the puzzle will cycle through these 5 Zhang server predictions. They are also in the Alignment Tool so you can use partial threading as well as an extended chain. We would like to see how well you can refine these models that were not generated using Rosetta. More info about this protein in the puzzle comments.
