Space, the final frontier...


... is a really terrible title for a blog post that features a single picture, albeit of three generations of SL mesh-type protein structure. Third in line on the left is Hiro Sheridan's sculpty version of human lysozyme, then the multi-sculpted version and, nearest to the camera, a "proper" space-filled mesh. Not perfect but it does at least give some feel for the kind of resolution that can be achieved.

My avatar is making the point that the PDB is not the only source of structures. He stands on EMDB Entry EMD-1644, the Borrelia flagellar motor (which does look a little like a spacecraft, no?)

All done with UCSF Chimera and MeshLab, the final frontier for me at the moment. The good news is that OpenSim does mesh too. Have mesh, will travel.
