Surface model of a complex between the nucleosome core particle and a 146 bp long DNA fragment (PBD ID 1AOI). The DNA should be printed in flexible TPU while the histones core in rigid PLA. The flexible material allows for the DNA fragment to be coiled around the core to recreate the complex.created for the Biochemistry and Structural Biology class and to respond to the following Biomolecular visualization learning goals (BioMolViz; DOI:10.1002/bmb.20991)MA1.01 Students can identify individual biomolecules in a macromolecular assembly. (Novice, Amateur, Expert)MA1.02 Students can describe the functions of individual biomolecules within a macromolecular assembly. (Novice, Amateur, Expert)
