My grandfather built motors that powered big machines. In a lab not so different from his workshop, my colleagues and I uncovered the assembly of the bacterial motor. Today, this discovery has been published in Nature Microbiology #MolecularNodes #Discovery nature.com/articles/s4156…

For anyone interested
I made a tutorial covering how to make the nanopore sequencing animation I posted last week😊

EMBL is looking for a scientific illustrator!

For #SeeingDiversity , meet Dr. Nayara Fernanda Barros Dos Santos Nayara Santos a postdoc in the Pornillos lab U of Utah Dept of Biochemistry! This figure by Margot Riggi illustrates how some HIV-1 CA mutants may produce capsids that are unstable & fall apart in the cytosol, preventing nuclear import.

Personal practice 01
I've not made something just for myself without a tutorial, course, or client for over 6 years... #b3d

Happy and super excited to share our discovery of a protein fractal! We unravel the surprisingly simple emergence of these marvellous structures and show it might have even been an accident of evolution. Read the full story here

It's #PortfolioDay ! I'm Michael, currently a PhD student in the biological sciences and budding scientific animator and designer. Interested in the complexity of life at microscopic scales.

Here's a few things I've made and my portfolio website is linked in the replies!

Bedaquiline (orange) inhibiting Tuberculosis ATP production by binding to the F0 ring of a mycobacterial ATP Synthase complex (green). Bedaquiline is a critical weapon in the fight against drug-resistant TB that attacks the bacterium's biochemical foundations. #sciart

Hacky Hour at UWA Research is re-starting up for 2024.

Dr James Lloyd will led tomorrow (9th April)'s session start at 2pm in the usual Hackett cafe on the Crawley campus, with some focus on the use of the High Performance Computing servers at UWA. Come along with questions!

Test animations of Nanopore Sequencing (ft. generic documentary music) from the Easter holiday.

With significant help from Brady Johnston's #MolecularNodes . Amazing what it can enable these days!

A bigger more complex scene with #MolecularNodes . Membrane + pH gated ion channels (PDB 6fl9)! Not an animation this time as the render took ages.

Thanks again Brady Johnston

Stumbled across this which I think is the best introductory video to molecular dynamics I have seen.

Feeling like I hit a creativity wall and dying to create more illustrations. 😩
Any rad PDB structures you can suggest? Drop them in the comments for inspiration! 🎨🙌

VEGF signaling the start of angiogenesis—breaking up the cadherin junction between two cells.

I've been slowly transitioning to 3D-ish animation using rcsb pdb 💉🧬💻🔬💊🌱🧠🦠 data. My lighting is still janky in Blender, but Brady Johnston's Molecular Nodes is undefeated.

Season 2 soon.

Spent a whole day learning #blender , and now I can make some pointlessly epic shots of proteins!

Massive kudos to the amazing YouTube tutorials by Brady Johnston! Thanks so much for upgrading my #protein visualisation skills!

Check it out! Touring an interactive 300-million atom cell on my iPad. This is going to be amazing for biology students

I just got this port of CellWalk from Apple Vision Pro working on iPad tonight (not on the iOS app store yet)
