DESIGN OF THE MONTH
- This sandbox puzzle features a symmetric tetramer design by spvincent in Puzzle 2159. AlphaFold predicts the monomer unit will fold with high confidence, and an H-bond network at the interface should help prevent off-target assemblies. See for yourself in the Design of the Month sandbox puzzle.
