I’ve been thinking about what protein I want to represent, and I knew I wanted to do something that either repaired damage in the skin or was a major component in the skin. I want to go into dermatology one day, so that’s where this interest comes from 🙂 I happened to see that collagen was the molecule of the month in April of 2000, and I think there is a lot of potential for different ways to artistically represent this protein. Here’s what the PDB has to say about collagen, pretty cool!

Collagen is a great choice. It is truly a skinny protein!
