As you know, for a while now we have been excited about the educational possibilities of foldit. Every week we get a new set of requests to setup puzzles as class homework at some university.
We plan to spend some of our time to make these things easier. Recently, we've submitted a proposal to extend foldit to become a biochemistry tool for middle- and high-school students. To read about it and help us win the grant, please go to the below link and post a comment: the open-to-public feedback session will soon be closed, so time is limited.

Thanks for your help.
( Posted byRecipes Are Back or Where Are the Ratings
Recipes are once again available on this site for players to use, share, comment and vote on. Recipes allow players to record sequences of actions and apply them at a different time or to a different puzzle. Players can download others' recipes into their cookbook and use them to do all kinds of nutty things to proteins. The listing of all publicly available recipes can be found here. In addition to saving players lots of time, recipes have the potential to provide an invaluable insight into the way humans solve protein folding. Thus, we encourage players to create, share, use, comment and vote on recipes as much as possible.
In order to create room for the link to the recipes page in the top navigation menu, we removed the links to groups and player pages. They are now accessible using the tabbed block at right of most pages. Select Evolvers tab and click on the FULL link at the bottom of the block to see the rating of individual players. To access the ratings of groups, select Groups tab and click on the FULL link.

Fix Update
We're posting a small update today that has a few new fixes and features, including:
Timeout: the connection timeout has been increased to address some of the connection issues players are experiencing.
Exploration map: There is now a zoom slider in the exploration map.
Exploration condition: The exploration condition will show a numerical representation of your exploration so you know how far you have explored.
If you are having trouble updating through the game you may try reinstalling.
