A protein structure (6B68) that is rendered with dramatic moody lighting. Everything is black but the lights emitted the ligand atoms light up the close surroundings of those ligands. Proteins are shown with a semi-transparent surface and the atoms and cartoon of the protein are partially visible inside of the surface, lit up from the emitted light from the ligands. Everything that is not lit up by the ligands remains black as there is no other light in the scene.
A screenshot showing information for the GitHub repo "Molecular Nodes". Of importance is the counter for the number of stars which is at 999.
A screen recording of the 3D animation program Blender. The user is moving around a 3D cube, which is causing the disassembly of a protein virus capsid selectively. As the cube is moved over the protein subunits, they begin to move away randomly and diffuse.
A 3D animated video of a protein structure spinning on the spot. The protein is represented as a single continuous ribbon tube, color according to b-factor with blue being low and red being high. Small molecules are represented as ball-and-sticks.
