Mini-CASP 22 had only 1 template with no alignments to the first 23 residues. This could mean the N-terminus is disordered, so we have trimmed off the first 13 residues (see puzzle comments for more details). We have also included 2 very distant templates, you can see that their scores are quite bad and the starting alignments won't thread, but maybe they can help somehow. For players with fewer than 150 global points.

Two proteins are interacting in this puzzle - one is part of a flu virus! Your protein has been designed by Rosetta to bind to a targets on the flu virus - but it needs to be improved. Can you improve the loop on your protein to improve interactions with the flu virus?

Here are some different alignments for Mini-CASP 21. Some of these might seem more complicated, but they also might lead to better structures. Good luck!

The previous alignment puzzle for Mini-CASP 20 had some difficult templates (some solved structures contained gaps, see puzzle comments for more info) so hopefully these 6 templates will be easier to work with. Please read David Baker's alignment advice in the blog, if you haven't already. For players with fewer than 15 global points.

Mini-CASP 23 is a very large protein, but this will be good practice for CASP 9, since many targets will be big as well. Hopefully your scripts and recipes will be able to handle it. You will also need to use all your alignment tool knowledge on this one!
