OK Folks, it has been nine months since I announced this challenge. Some
excellent suggestions have been made, and some new tools created for
this community, but the UNTANGLE Challenge is still not solved!
As additional incentive, I am now officially announcing cash prizes:
$1000 (USD) for th
Thank you Herbert,
Yes, I call tunneling the "conformer swap trick", and I provide a jiffy
script for doing this. Swapping conformer letter assignments is
equivalent to changing the color of the ropes at a certain distance down
their length. When you give this to the refinement program all th
Have you considered the impact of tunneling? Your rope crossings are not

Update:
I've gotten some feedback asking for clarity on what I mean by
"tangled". I paste here a visual aid:
The protein chains in an ensemble model are like these ropes. If these
ropes are the same length as the distance from floor to ceiling, then
straight up-and-down is the global minimu
Greetings Everybody,
I present to you a Challenge.
Structural biology would be far more powerful if we can get our models
out of local minima, and together, I believe we can find a way to escape
them.
tldr: I dare any one of you to build a model that scores better than my
"best.pdb" model b
