If it helps an academic colleague of mine has been developing hi-res full-colour 3D printed molecule models for the last 6 months or so and is very happy to help design and make any molecules of interest. These can include mini-magnets to click pieces together (ligand binding etc). I’ve included

Hi Joe, I have used a 3D printer to print out protein structures. I use Autodesk Maya 2015. There is an add on called mMaya v 1.3 which is the Molecular Maya Toolkit. This integrates with Autodesk Maya and you can load the pdb file directly for the protein that you would like to print. I usually e

Sorry for the rather random question but has anyone out there used a 3D printer to print a protein structure? If so, what format did you need to convert the PDB into to allow the printer to interpret the data? Many thanks, Joe P Joe Patel FBLG Specialist _
