Toll-Like Receptor 3 exists in three different pieces in the Protein Data Bank: the domain in the lumen of the endosome, the trans-membrane helices, and the TIR domain. Finding and arranging the pieces with proper size relationships ensures accuracy in the final visualization. Homology modeling was necessary to produce a residue-accurate model of the TIR region via the Swiss Model Repository. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4859ae56c7a101debff1a0/1588639574902-T48FQROB6LB0K4173M5D/Compositions.png Work - Detailed Construction - Different Ways to Tell a Story.

The composition highlights the overall graceful form of the protein, calling out the specific residues responsible for binding. Initially, a warm color scheme was explored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4859ae56c7a101debff1a0/1588640013465-YW1UJXDV3LGAMDAJNXU5/molphinal.PNG Work - Detailed Construction - Final Draft The final iteration experimented with a triadic color scheme, utilizing the warmer colors to draw forward the protein and important residues. The plasma membrane was generated in 3ds Max with a particle system, meticulously sized to be true to life. Labels on either side of the plasma membrane clarify the cellular location. Dotted lines between the endosomal domain and the trans-membrane domain denote a short length of variable protein structure. https://www.sarainavisuals.com/work/project-one-cl5rw-pl7fg-y78lt-yykf2 monthly 0.5 2020-02-26
