Hello Professor and Classmates,
I have decided to model Ranasmurfin (PBD ID: 2VH3). I will mold a Brainy Smurf using gum paste/fondant and the base design will be cake forms that will be covered with colored gum paste. The Ranasmurfin protein will be depicted using colored ribbons and wire will connect the helicies and beta strands.
Ranasmurfin: 
This will be a beautiful protein to portray (in Smurf Blue I presume). David Goodsell at the Molecule of the Month has not yet subjected ranasmurfin to his inimitable prose and artistry, but there’s another great writer out there — Vivienne Baillie Gerritsen — who puts a spotlight each month on a protein structure. Lucky for us, she wrote a story about ranasmurfin in her Feb 2009 column. See http://www.expasy.org/spotlight/snapshots/052/
