Great! Maybe, they should add an extra term for correlation of Fcalc to
Fobs (or LLG or R) to their game. I wonder, if structures could be
solved ab inition by players, then :-).
Best regards,

Actually, Kam Zhang's group did
That's progress! A century ago we'd need an infinite amount of monkeys
typing on an infinite amount of typewriters to produce a single paper. Now
we need just a finite amount of gamers to produce 7+ models to get one
that looks quite like a folded protein. And it saved an heavy atom soak as
