A Structure Shaped

The Prompt

Play Foldit through the tutorial sequence and complete at least three science puzzles. Attend to the interplay between the automated tools (wiggle, shake) and your own manual manipulation of the protein structure. Record your score relative to the community benchmark, the tools you relied on most, and one moment in which your spatial intuition outperformed the automated optimisers — a move you made by eye that the algorithms had not found.

Completion Criteria

The date, the puzzles completed, the scores relative to community benchmarks, and a brief written account of one moment in which spatial intuition outperformed automation.
