Fourth CASP ROLL target R0004 has been cancelled
Many of you noticed that a new CASP ROLL target was released yesterday, but was due in 8 days!
Well, we just received this email from the organizers:
"Dear CASP ROLL participants,
Structure of target R0004 has just been released by the PDB, one week ahead of the originally scheduled date, and we have to cancel it.
The next CASP ROLL target will be released for prediction tomorrow.
CASP organizers"
Hopefully they give us more than 8 days to work on it!
