Psilocybin bound to Serotonin Receptor

Psilocybin, 4ib4, Biologic Model, Molecular Model

Psilocybin bound to Serotonin Receptor Psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychoactive mushrooms, has provided the spiritual and cultural bedrock of many great civilizations. The Aztecs referred to teonanácatl, which translates as ‘divine mushroom’, and modern neuroscience has revealed how psilocybin interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain in order to produce a range of consciousness-altering…

Oligosaccharyltransferase Complex

Oligosaccharyltransferase Complex, OST, ETH Zurich, Biologic Models

Oligosaccharyltransferase Complex This is a 3D print of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex. It is colored blue according to the protein’s electrostatic property. Colored green are various monosaccharides attached to OST as sugar trees. Isolated and colored by atom type are the binding residues that attach shuttling proteins. Colored white are individual phospholipids from a plasma membrane.…
