Capstone challenge for Module 3: The Architect. Identify helices, strands and loops in a 3D structure.

- Identify helices, strands and loops in a 3D structure
- Choose residues suited to each structural context
- Read a pLDDT profile as a measure of fold confidence, and recognise what it cannot tell you
- Explain how individual residue choices decide whether the protein folds at all
