Tip: The starting structure for this puzzle has a misaligned N-terminal beta sheet. You will need to move the sheet "up" to have it meet the three other sheets. Using cutpoints and the ideal SS may help, although you may want to trim a few residues off the second sheet (counting from N-terminal) first to keep things from becoming too "stiff".
