New update!

We have posted an update with several new features today!

Tools: shake will ignore bands that are not on sidechains and should
prevent getting get "stuck". Intermediate results of shake will appear
on the undo graph.

Undo Graph: with the advanced GUI, negative scores will show up in the
undo graph.

Clipboard: copy, cut, and paste have been implemented for OSX.

Scripting: added Lua functions for getting the amino acid type and
hydrophobicity of a segment, also the ability to get the negative score.

GUI fade: the gui will fade out after moving or rotating for several
seconds.

Performance improvements: a number of changes have been made to
improve the performance of the rendering.

Stability: some crashes, such as when zooming out very far, have been
fixed.

Foldit wants YOU... to be on the cover of Nature.

Now that Foldit was accepted into Nature, we want to get on the cover! Dear players, we turn again to your collective help: click here to allow us to use your image in a photomosaic of a protein made out of Foldit player profiles.

Thank you all for making this possible.
