About this model

Structural biology textbooks draw proteins as ribbons, and this protein 3d model turns that drawing into a solid object. It shows a small alpha/beta protein in cartoon style. Four yellow arrow ribbons form a twisted antiparallel beta sheet joined by tight hairpin turns, with arrow heads pointing to the C terminus as in real ribbon diagrams. Two red right handed alpha helices with three turns each lie beside the sheet, pitch and radius true to scale. Loops and both chain ends are round mint tubes. A rod with a small ball clamp grips the loop between the fourth strand and the first helix and lifts the fold above a lilac stand. It is 23.4 cm tall and 16 by 13 cm wide, made of 26,848 triangles. The DNA Helix shows the genetic code, this protein shows what the code builds.

Good for

  • Biochemistry and protein folding lessons
  • Biotech or pharma explainer video
  • University biology slides
  • Research lab scene decoration

Engine import notes

Unity GLB · FBX

Import the GLB with the glTFast package or use the FBX. 1 m in the file = 1 Unity unit.

Unreal Engine FBX

Use the FBX. The model is built in metres. Unreal works in centimetres and converts on import, so it arrives at real size (0.23 m = 23 cm).

Godot 4 GLB · FBX

Drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock. Godot 4 imports it directly, with materials. The FBX works too (Godot 4.3+ imports it natively).

Blender BLEND · GLB

Open the .blend directly, or import the GLB via File › Import › glTF 2.0.

Use it in: UnityUnrealGodotBlender
