Protein Art by May K. I never cease to be amazed by how artistically inspirational science can be! For those of you who have never seen protein structures before, biologists and biochemists often represent the three-dimensional shapes taken on by chains of amino acids using ribbon diagrams. It’s an easy way to see the overall patterns and folding of complicated protein molecules, and there’s whole databases of them just laying around. May K. rotates those ribbon structures in 3-D modeling software until she sees an interesting shape pop out. Then she uses the protein to anchor her extremely fun artwork. Check out her full gallery here! So cool.
