Molecules in motion...

...across grids, that is.

To celebrate publication of the paper by Andy Lang and Jean-Claude Bradley on Chemistry in Second Life, I thought I'd use Meerkat to take one of the molecules generated by Andy's older molecule rezzer into an OpenSim grid. This is Intel's ScienceSim (the Galileo sim, to be precise) and, as you can see, Meerkat ported and linked the 145 prim molecule (basically a peptidoglycan monomer) without problems. I'm not entirely sure how the molecule was positioned (possibly in the same position it was originally archived) but it was easy enough to track down using the mini-map. Bear in mind that Meerkat at least does not port scripts and other inventory contents, though a separate trial showed that it could archive and import one of Andy's protein sculpted prims inside SL.

Interesting times.
