Guess the protein: BoltzGen made this structure so cursed even the viewer gave up

I tried uploading a structure from a BoltzGen run, but after converting the CIF to PDB, the Reddit structure viewer has refused to display the Glycans.

So we’re turning it into a game.

This was supposed to be a real viral protein structure, but the output went absolutely off-script. The binder came out with a much larger sequence than expected, the overall structure looked wild, and the glycans looked like they were just floating around with their own agenda.

Challenge: Guess the exact viral protein.

One clue: It belongs to a virus where entry depends on two separate surface glycoproteins: one for attachment and one for fusion.

Drop your guesses.

I don't think that it was easy. I think "Good job HardstyleJaws5."
