Congratulations to Taiyo Yamomoto, winner of the prize for Best Graduate Student Talk 2025 at the 20th International Xenopus Conference 2025.

Molecular Models were delighted to offer one of our models, the DNA double helix (PDB 1BNA) as the prize.

We had a fantastic time at the 20th International #Xenopus Conference at @portsmouthuni

Proudly displaying a selection of our colourful molecular models, it was great to meet so many delegates and share ideas.

@edymors Great photo - nice to see it in its new home. We really enjoyed bringing this structure to life!

The ATP synthase from Paracoccus denitrificans. PDB: 5DN6. This 3D printed pice of art was made by @molecmodels I have no words to express how it feels to touch the model we solved a few years ago.

Plasmids are naturally-occurring circular DNA molecules from bacteria. In gene cloning, restriction enzymes are used to cut out a fragment of plasmid. A gene to be studied is then ligated into the plasmid vector.

Our 175mm model is based on PDB code: 1BNA

New to our range, the structure of Tobacco mosaic virus (PDB 6SAE), an RNA plant virus with an amazing spiral-shape protein capsid.

TMV forms a spiral-shaped cylinder of 2130 subunits that encircles the single-strand RNA genome.

[Molecular Models @molecmodels]

Based on PDB code 6SAE, this is the structure of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). TMV forms a spiral-shaped cylinder of 2130 subunits that encircles the single-strand RNA genome.

These models of the subunits fit together to show more detail of how a TMV ring starts to form.

The structure of dengue virus (DENV), a member of the RNA flavivirus family is part of a study to help solve the structures of flaviviruses, including new strains of DENV, Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Based on PDB code 7KV8.

Cool pic of Top7 from announcement - first de novo designed protein!

[Molecular Models @molecmodels]

@PernillaWittung Thank you very much! We have never made a model like that before so it was quite a challenge, but we are very happy with the outcome. 😊

[Molecular Models @molecmodels]

We're really proud to have had the opportunity to work with Pernilla @PernillaWittung and use 3D printing to bring to life the beautiful and important world of protein structures!

My new toy Top7 was very helpful today when we announced the chemistry Nobel prize!

“I love all the proteins so I don’t want to pick favourites."

New chemistry laureate, David Baker, spoke about the technology he developed that creates protein structures at the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry press conference today.
