In the poly-proline series of puzzles
(https://fold.it/portal/node/2008302),
it would be helpful if there were a
4th secondary structure (besides
helix, sheet, and loop) that we could
assign to the poly-proline regions of
our structures. This 4th secondary
structure could be included in the
Blueprint Tool; in the assign, idealize,
auto, & reset secondary structure buttons;
in appropriate LUA commands; in the abego
color scheme; and in the cartoon rendering
option. Such tools would help put the
poly-proline regions in the appropriate
spot on the Rama Map, for example.

I don't want to sound like a dampener - but without some sort of inbuilt score for a polyproline helix - why would any player not prefer the helices and sheets we know will score well through bonding?
Some form of 'quasi scoring' might be needed if PP11 helices are to be made a constant feature here. And that would ask questions about how the game works.
Just saying :)
This is a feature that we are planning to make part of the game!
Currently we are working on a way to tell players which polars are buried in their designs, but a poly-proline idealize tool is another priority. It would be very useful for this puzzle series.
