Trimer Design

Irc 779697 1536624371 S13 fiendish ghoul 21558 — fiendish_ghoul's **trimer design** from Puzzle 1570.

A trimer design puzzle is a common type of Foldit symmetry puzzle.

As the name implies, these puzzles involve trimers, proteins assembled from three identical copies of a protein chain.

A trimer design puzzle has a main chain, and two symmetric chains. All of the normal Foldit tools are available on the main chain, but most tools can't be applied to the symmetric chains. Depending on the view options selected, the main chain normally has a colorful appearance, while the symmetric chains appear in shade of gray.

Any changes to the design or shape of the main chain are immediately reflected in the symmetric chains.

Most trimer design puzzles involve C3 symmetry. The type of symmetry affects how the chains move in relation to each other.
