The scientists hope to uncover fundamental principles underlying one of life’s building blocks, and they believe that the free game will also serve as a training ground for a cadre of citizen-experts who will help generate a new storehouse of biological knowledge. The process may also aid researchers in building more powerful automated algorithms for biological discovery. The game, EteRNA , is accessible at eterna.cmu.edu/content/EteRNA . It allows non-biologists to design complex new ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules, as well as to receive quick feedback on the biological function of their designs. In a way, EteRNA is a successor to Foldit , a popular Internet-based video game that proved that the pattern matching skills of amateurs could outperform some of the best protein-folding algorithms designed by scientists.

Aztreonam is a member of the Beta Lactam Clan, and like others in the family, Aztreonam can take down a range of Lords. She is often sent into battle when the use of her great father Penicillin and his relatives risk more harm to the land than their protective efforts can justify.
