This is a minor update to show what 4000-ish average sized proteins (red spheres) look like when added to the slice of the giant TB cell. There should, of course, be some in the area of the nucleoid but I haven't worked out how many, nor what to do with them. That sounds lame but is actually the process I am undertaking, a journey that will take wrong turns at times. The aim overall is to provide a context for asking interesting questions, not least how Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Escherichia coli are likely to differ.
The grey structure in the closeup is the viewing platform. The prims themselves are non-randomly distributed, being linksets of 250 prims shift-copied and rotated/moved slightly in situ. Having them linked should hopefully make them easier to rez on demand. Overall, this is a useful shortcut for what is basically a feasibility study. More anon.
