Just put a few new paintings @buildmodels: myoglobin packed into a whale muscle cell and a rework of the extracellular matrix painting from my book (both for the PDB50 celebration), and a red blood cell membrane and cytoskeleton. They're available at: https://t.co/lUPHWigjT3
What I like about this paper is that it nicely illustrates that lipidic capsules (cell membrane) containing actively deforming structures (cytoskeleton networks) can easily fragment. Dedicated mechanisms are required to keep the cell intact. https://t.co/arqxexLAPp
Reading up on tubulin today, protein that makes cytoskeleton inside neurons...I want to use it for telepathy quantum resonator. Ribbon diagram shown below. What the heck IS a ribbon diagram...I always wondered. Link to answer: https://t.co/xaH9vPOAv6

Just finished the red blood cell painting--hemoglobin in red, blood plasma in yellows at the top, and the amazing membrane/cytoskeleton in purple.
Cell #Cytoskeleton:
🧫A structural scaffold giving the cell shape
🧫An intracellular transport system
🧫A driver of cell motility
🧫A mediator of cell division
