Bigger proteins can indeed have a great potential. The 3-D glasses sucked but the new ones rock. I am a college sophomore (2nd year) with a dual major in Chemistry and Psychology @ Duke. By the way, i came across these excellent <a href="http://www.funnelbrain.com/searchResults.php?searchTxt=chemistry&decks=true" rel="nofollow">chemistry flashcards</a>. Its also a great initiative by the FunnelBrain team. Amazing!!! Extraordinary! Bigger proteins can indeed have a great potential. The 3-D glasses sucked but the new ones rock.

SexyMan knows. They totally do have bigger proteins displayed in this way - if you click through to that 3D Chem website they have a few different proteins you can check out, like hemoglobin, not to mention the new site set up with the open-source database I mentioned. If you can get them on a big screen like we did at uni you can see heaps of detail, and do spacefilling models so you can see the shape of active sites and overlay a small molecule on top.

If they could get bigger proteins displayed like that, that could have an awesome amount of potential. The 3D glasses never worked very well for me, they just made everything faintly red. I think I have the wrong type of eyes... Wow…that is amazing. If they could get bigger proteins displayed like that, that could have an awesome amount of potential.
