This currently unsolved protein has homologs that we can use as templates. There are 5 templates you can thread from in the Alignment Tool. Make sure to try Intro Puzzles 5-1 to 5-3 if you aren't familiar with the Alignment Tool. Alignment Tool help can be found here: http://foldit.wikia.com/wiki/Alignment_Tool. See hints in the puzzle comments if you are unable to thread. For players with fewer than 150 global points.

We are giving it to you this 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 posted in the puzzle comments, but we have included them in the starting structure as well. Since this protein chain is quite long, we are giving you 2 extra days to work on it.
