Molecular Models are Thinking Tools!
Visit our MODEL GALLERY
Our Model Gallery contains photos of a variety of models created for researchers, educators and students. Accompanying each model is a brief description of the protein, and the methods used to create it.
We specialize in the production of one-of-a-kind, alpha-carbon backbone models of proteins, complete with selected sidechains and substrates/ligands. Our models are commonly constructed of nylon using selective laser sintering (SLS). We have recently acquired a new Z Crop color 3D Printer....which allows us to make surface models color-coded features such as electrostatic potential maps.Other formats are also available. Models can be constructed in a range of sizes, up to approximately 10 inches in the greatest dimension.
We
use five
different rapid prototyping technologies to construct protein models in
a variety of different formats. All models are based
on atomic coordinate data of known protein structures. These physical models
are useful adjuncts to the computer-based visualization in that they allow a
tactile interaction with the protein.
In order to start on the process
of building your model, we have created an easy form to give you a better idea
of the time and money required for your model. Do you want a model of the substrate/ligand
interaction of nicotine and an extracellular nicotinic receptor? We can do that
for you! To order a model, please visit our model quote
page, and we will be happy to estimate the cost of your model. All of our
models are individually made to match each customer's exacting specifications
by a dedicated model designer selected from our team of highly-trained students.
We build whole-protein models, as well as focused models on smaller aspects
of larger proteins.
