Once upon a time, I studied microbiology and biochemistry. This is the protein I worked with, Pokeweed Antiviral Protein, derived from the American pokeweed plant (Phytolacca americana). I measured fluorescence changes under denaturing conditions of the tryptophan at location 212 (annotation 2).
I generated this model using the viewer at the [RCSB Protein Data Bank](https://www.rcsb.org/) [here](https://www.rcsb.org/3d-view/1APA) and made some tweaks in Blender.
