ISOLDE: bringing macromolecular model building to life

Bringing macromolecular machinery to life using 3D animation.

Over the past decade, there has been a rapid rise in the use of three-dimensional (3D) animation to depict molecular and cellular processes. Much of the growth in molecular animation has been in the educational arena, but increasingly, 3D animation software is finding its way into research laboratories. In this review, I will discuss a number of ways in which 3d animation software can play a va...

Visual automated macromolecular model building

Automated model-building software aims at the objective interpretation of crystallographic diffraction data by means of the construction or completion of macromolecular models. Automated methods have rapidly gained in popularity as they are easy to use and generate reproducible and consistent results. However, the process of model building has become increasingly hidden and the user is often le...

Bringing Evo Devo to Life

T he essential path of adaptive evolution is that genetic variation among individuals is translated by the process of development into phenotypic variability, which is then screened by natural selection for any design changes that enhance survival and reproductive success. In Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Sean Carroll shows how the central black box of development that maps phenotypes onto geno...
