From exploring the intricate secondary structure of proteins to decoding the workings of bacterial ribosomes and HIV reverse transcription enzymes, these tiny sheets pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries. Even viruses find their place on these versatile surfaces. Hepatitis C virus enzymes take shape as molecular models on these very same sheets, reminding us how important they are in studying diseases that affect millions worldwide.

Paul Kruger depicted as an ogre or Peter, the fox terrier discovering his arch-nemesis - a fox; both illustrations come alive thanks to those humble yet powerful pieces.
