#SpaceFill
is there like a comprehensive "how to draw spacefill models of macromolecules" out there

like it's so hard to not draw a Blob for a protein or a twisty string for dna :(

damn heavy water kinda...

Awesome!
If there are any PDB structures that aren't available via the NIH 3D print exchange, etc, it should be fairly quick to make spacefill STL models here:

leave it to humans to find a way to litter space and turn it into a gigantic landfill. (er, spacefill)

Hello #AcademicSky! 👋I am a Biotech undergrad bridging wet lab & computational pipelines.
Refining structural workflows today: generating CFTR & Hemoglobin models via SWISS-MODEL.
Analyzing these surface topologies & subunit dynamics helps me link raw sequence data to actual function.

#TryptophanWednesday! This is one of my favorite models. It's a sodium channel, mostly backbone, with some side chains shown due to their role in binding tetrodotoxin.

This isn't an ad, but, like, I'm not gonna *not* tell you where to get one...: shop.3dmoleculardesigns.com/products/mig...

nah, this loses the entire definition of the molecule
when i mean "spacefill" i mean the actual chemical representation model, full of spheres that intersect, showing how it would "look like"

the one you said loses that definition, closer to a textbook representation than the actual "shape" !

Nice but a a spacefill would have been more impressive...
