Want to see if your Foldit CASP9 prediction was submitted as one of the five models?
We have calculated the GDT values for the CASP9 targets whose native structures have been released.
GDT (Global Distance Test) is the metric that has been used by the assessors in previous CASPs (the higher the number, the closer to the native: 100 would be a perfect match the native wheras 0 would be very bad)
Madde has created a beautiful table for all the Foldit CASP9 targets here:
http://de.foldit.wikia.com/wiki/CASP#CASP9-Puzzles
and in the right column you can see which of the 5 submitted models was closest to the native.
If you scroll down you can see which players' models were submitted for each individual target, as well as how close they were to the native and which templates were used.
This table will be updated as more native structures become public.
We have also posted a Quest to the Native for CASP9 Puzzle 2d (which had the template that was closest to the native).

Now that CASP9 has ended, we want to give you the same CASP puzzles but with the recently released native structures as guides.
We hope that these Quest to the Native puzzles will help you see what moves are necessary to reach the native state, as well as giving you more examples of what native structures look like.
Today we are posting the first Quest to the Native (based on our first CASP9 puzzle that you have seen in our Gallery Mode) as well as a new design puzzle for Foldit players that have recently joined us.

We hope you are enjoying the return of design puzzles now that CASP9 has ended.
Austinday has added more hints for the current TNT Design Puzzle, as well as a detailed description about this design (if you are interested). The hints are at the bottom of his post:

For all our new players who have never tried a design puzzle before, make sure to complete the Introductory Design Puzzles (6-1 through 7-2) before trying out the TNT Puzzle!
(Fri, 08/20/2010 - 21:22 | 0 comments)new wave of players and update on full functionality
As some you may have noticed we've had a large influx of new players due to the Nature article and the following press interest. If you're a veteran Foldit player, we encourage you to help out the new players as they go through the intro levels and start working on challenge puzzles. It is exactly the community of Foldit players that makes this project so amazing.
I have also posted a blog entry explaining the source of our downtime last week, and the partial functionality we've had for several days afterward in another blog post http://fold.it/portal/node/988176
We've learned a lot from these, and we should handle future downtimes more gracefully.
