What we really need for this game is the ability to "grasp" the protein with two virtual hands and push, pull, and shape the protein the way we want... not to freeze some segments, hit the (truly random) rebuild button, and HOPE it kicks out something useful.

I can see exactly what I need to do to fold a protein how I want it. But with the tools currently available, I can only approximate what I want to achieve. It is sort of like trying to un-knot a long rope that is buried inside a bag... while wearing boxing gloves. Awkward at best, impossible at worst.
