As Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose suggest, Tryptophan residues in #microtubules influence #consciousness. In this 3D print of Microtubule 3J2U, we can see how TRP residues (tinted dark) interconnect adjacent #Tubulin molecules. #structuralbiology

3D Printed models of proteins created from x-ray crystallography data sets. Hand-held scientific models of proteins bridge the scientific gap between the digital and physical world. #3DPrint your own protein model at https://biologicmodels.com/3d-print-request/

Here's a recent project we completed of #HIV Capsid Structure. The base is really elegant and the brass rods fit right betweem twp capsids and holds the model vertically. Turned out great. Send us a #3Dprint request if you have molecule or protein dataset you'd like to display. www.biologicmodels.com/3D-print-request/

This #3DPrint of the #SARS-Cov2 Virion was created during the first months of the 2020 after assisting a team of international research scientists commissioned to quickly summarize the structural proteins of the virus. #virology https://biologicmodels.com/viruses/sars-cov-2-virion

The Nuclear Pore Complex is one of the largest protein complexes. The architecture of a NPC is dynamic. The architecture of a NPC is dynamic. Changes in nuclear envelope tension manifests conforma­tional breathing during dilation and constriction movements. https://biologicmodels.com/pdb/7r5k/nuclear-pore-complex-7r5k/

This #3DPrint of the #SARS-Cov2 Virion was created during the first months of the 2020 after assisting a team of international research scientists commissioned to quickly summarize the structural proteins of the virus. @caseysteffen created a series of interactive modules for scientists to review while discussing the importance of different viral proteins. You can explore these modules here at #virology https://biologicmodels.com/viruses/sars-cov-2-virion

I love helping research scientists celebrate the accomplishments of their Phd students. Here is Complement C4b-binding protein 4B0F. The complement system as a major part of innate immunity is the first line of defense against invading microorganisms. Send me a #3DPrint request and create your own custom protein model. https://www.biologicmodels.com/3D-print-request

Out of the printer and off for delivery to Japan. This is Staphylococcus aureus FtsZ 12-316, a protein involved in bacterial cell division. If you have a protein dataset you'd like 3D printed, send @caseysteffen a #3Dprint request https://biologicmodels.com/3d-print-request/
