This October I’m drawing 1 molecule a day inspired by proteins in pdb @rcsbpdb.bsky.social Day 6 Prompt PIERCE Pdb: 8HO3 8HQO 8HQZ 8HRE 8HRG Structure of a bacteriophage DT57C that carries a special piercing tip to attack bacteria. Next: STARFISH Suggestions?

This October I’m drawing 1 molecule a day inspired by proteins in pdb @rcsbpdb.bsky.social Day 7 Prompt STARFISH Pdb: 6KG7 Starfish relies on sensory information. This is Piezo 2 - mechanically activated ion channel responsible for the sense of touch. Next: RECKLESS Suggestions?

I am incredibly grateful to @asbmb.bsky.social and especially @mooneyjoanna.bsky.social for this opportunity. They saw the potential in my work and the value in merging art with biology 🍁🍂🍁

𝗠𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗰! Very happy to share that my BioArt, From order to disorder, made it to the cover of the ASBMB Today magazine! Many thanks to @asbmb.bsky.social and @mooneyjoanna.bsky.social for this opportunity. Cover pic story: www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/... #ASBMB #Protein #Art #Disorder

"Shapes of Life" reveals the stunning diversity of protein shapes and sizes! Proteins grow from violet to red in size—starting with tiny epidermal growth factor (1EGF, 53 amino acids) and ending with the massive vault protein (2QZV, 71,904 amino acids). #BioArt #Proteins #Wolfram #FASEB

Proteins are life’s building blocks, and symmetry is common in biomolecules. Here are 29 protein structures like biomolecular flowers, each showing a unique cyclic symmetry from the RCSB Protein Data Bank. Created using BiomoleculePlot3D from Wolfram ProteinVisualization paclet. #Proteins #Symmetry

𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 This BioArt shows the disordered regions (lighter shade) in 100 human proteins. Fall color hues indicate increasing disorder from top left to bottom right. Detailed post: tinyurl.com/bdfbhda3 Function used: tinyurl.com/yf5vbjjv #Proteins #Computation #BioArt
