#MolecularNodes is teaming up with the folks at MDAnlasis to offer a potential #GSOC project.
If you are interested in improveing the integration of #Blender3d and #MDAnalysis for better visualisations of your analysis, check out the blog post for how to get involved: https://www.mdanalysis.org/2024/02/27/gsoc2024/
Combining #b3d and #Eevee with #JupyterNotebooks and #MolecularNodes, we can interactively render proteins via Blender, all from within a notebook. Performance was a lot better than I was expecting, with lots of potential for quick and automated visualisations.
I've ported over the 'Wiggle' node to #MolecularNodes 2.2, meaning you can bring your static crystal structures to life without the need for MD simulations.
Using only #b3d and #GeometryNodes you can animate amino-acid side-chains using B-factor information from the structure.

My first post on mastodon. Carbaord proteins with #blender3d and #molecularnodes
Loving this crafty aesthetic that I have been playing around with a bunch lately. #geometrynodes
This may be the most beautiful molecule you will see today.

Earth worms don't have any red blood cells, so how do they transport oxygen?
They use erythrocruorin: a protein with 144 globin subunits. Enormous compared to our hemoglobin.
created using @bradyajohnston's fantastic new #molecularnodes update. #blender #animation #b3d

Forget #chatgpt fo r a minute that s this where it's at for me.
One day we can all have a digital twin of our own bodies

I can now load _basically_ every atom from an entire bacterial cell, into #blender3d and #geometrynodes via #molecularnodes. Each macromolecule is down to atomic detail where available via CellPack, totalling ~250,000,000 points, all rendering (quite quickly) in Cycles #b3d
