The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules from one location to another.
- Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific 3D structure that determines its activity.
- A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Protein article was read about 350,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get Protein
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
