In mitochondria, respiratory supercomplexes (blue) pump protons across crista membranes to create an electrochemical gradient, fueling adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase (pink) to regenerate ATPโthe energy currency of life.
Now, cryoโelectron tomography captures these supercomplexes in their native organization, illuminating how the coordinated action of these molecular machines drives lifeโs fundamental energy conversion.

The recording has begun ๐ช
Your wishlist was long but you had so many great ideas. It might take me a hot second to record all the tutorials but I'm on it and will keep you posted ๐
@gleb_alexandrov Aww, really cool! I have the Pro version, and it is 100% worth it, it's truly one of my favorite assets. It's such a time saver, and I love how customizable it is.
I have been experimenting with a lot of different materials for my biomolecules lately, but I always come back to the gummy-worm-style ๐

@evankiefl True, many of the nice features are lost with glTF, and the result looks quite flat. In my understanding, the main bottleneck here is lighting. The file format saves the geometry and basic colors but lacks the complete lighting environment (that ultimately gives the squishiness).
@aritraroy24 Good idea! I will look into it. In the meantime you might want to check out Joe's channel. If I remember correctly, he did a tutorial on it as well. https://t.co/05BZQdDKdP
๐งชHelp needed!
I am currently gathering ideas for a new and updated Blender course tailored for chemists. Besides importing molecules into Blender, what topics or features would interest you the most?
Any input is highly appreciated ๐
@evankiefl That would be really awesome, but I'm probably the wrong person to answer this. Since simple online-molecular-viewer exist, I would assume it is doable somehow. But tbh, my knowledge in this department is too limited so it's more of a guess.
@mooreth42 Thatโs really cool work! Itโs honestly a bit out of my league though, I'm afraid. My approach is more to use supporting software and Blender separately. So my experience in combining things like this is practically zero ๐
@Sculpturatus Animation, coloring, and textures is 100% on the list. I also plan to animate a simple reaction. This is a bit more advanced, but it's fun. So let's go for it ๐
@DJ_Biophys I like both suggestions! I might just need some trajectories, since I never generated them myself, just used them. But if this is sorted out, I'm happy to include this ๐
