This is a view of the 20S proteasome, a multienzymatic protein comples used to degrade damaged proteins. I liked this view because it is looking directly through the center of the barrel-shape of the protein.

Knowing that the function of the proteasome is to gobble up proteins, and noticing a certain resemblance to a certain fuzzy gobbler, I wondered if the kitchen might make a good studio for building a complicated structure such as this one.
