The Winner of the Coot Speed Run, Map 1 Challenge, with a time of 2:29 is Victor Tobiasson. Yay.

Victor has asked for a more difficult challenge for the next map and I agree. I have selected EMD-22898/7kjr which is SARS-CoV2 ORF 3a - an ion channel and potential therapeutic and vaccine target. I think I recall seeing on twitter (although I can't find it now) that the images for this reconstruction were collected in about 6 hours.

The starting point is

i) the map emd_22898.map (get it from here: https://www.emdataresource.org/EMD-22898)

ii) the sequence

        10         20         30         40         50
                                          S LPFGWLIVGV
        60         70         80         90        100
ALLAVFQSAS KIITLKKRWQ LALSKGVHFV CNLLLLFVTV YSHLLLVAAG
       110        120        130        140        150
LEAPFLYLYA LVYFLQSINF VRIIMRLWLC WKCRSKNPLL YDANYFLCWH
       160        170        180        190        200
TNCYDYCIPY NSVTSSIVIT SGDGTTSPIS EHDYQIGGYT EKWESGVKDC
       210        220        230        240        250
VVLHSYFTSD YYQLYSTQLS TDTGVEHVTF FIYNKIVD

iii) the compound_id for the ligand is PEE

iv) C2 symmetry has been applied along the Z axis to the reconstruction and hence should be reflected in the atomic model

The helices for the MSP are a bit marginal and will not be part of the scoring.

There will be a "Tool Assisted" version of this challenge - where one can start from the output of phenix.map_to_model. However, can you complete the model with Coot before phenix.map_to_model terminates?

There is no closing date as yet - it will be several months from now.

Also note that this molecule is part of the 2021 Ligand Model Challenge (part 
of the EM Validation Challenges)
