There were some great entries for the contest this year. You guys are real electronic artists! I am sure if that whole science career thing doesn’t work out – you will be able to get rich with your PyMol skills.
The winner will receive a 10 on their lowest Journal Club Quiz grade and a $10 gift certificate to the Co-op (and, of course, the jealous stares of their peers)
Voting for the PyMol Image contest will be through a Survey Monkey. Follow the link and choose which entry you feels is the best combination of aesthetics and technicality.

Entry E – both above
CA7 shown as mesh, colored by element, with EZL substrate binding into the active site as spheres. The right features a zoomed-in binding view of EZL sagittally bound in the active site with polar contacts shown as dashed lines.
Entry F – above
Entry G – above
This is a PyMOL image of carbonic anhydrase 2, my target, with Triazole (black) and zinc (white) shown as sticks in the active site. Carbon is shown in pink since Dr. B thinks I am obsessed with pink 🙂 Oxygen is red, and nitrogen is blue. The surface is mesh so that you can see the cartoon representation of the chain below. The PDB identifier is 1CRA.
Entry H – above

There are two images in the slot for F (both Mike’s and mine)
great pictures; would have been nice to have an instruction to make similar stuff -or at least the session files
