Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the optimal structure of the protein complex using the information provided.
Each puzzle includes individual proteins (tiny parts of cells and the puzzle pieces) and different experimental data that serve as guard rails to form the correct arrangement of the pieces. The more experimental data you satisfy, the higher score, and the closer you are to solving the puzzle and becoming a scientist!
How to Play
Teaching with SuperStruct
These protein puzzles are based on experimental restraints derived from real biochemical and bioinformatic techniques. This game serves as an excellent educational tool for those who are interested in learning or teaching about biophysical techniques, functions of complexes, and how structure and function are coupled. Keep an eye out for new puzzles that might be relevant to your biology course.
SuperStruct was created in the Taylor Lab at the University of Texas, Austin in partnership with Vital Mind Media.
