DESCRIPTION

A detailed ribbon (cartoon) model of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria, based on PDB entry 1EMA, including its chromophore shown as a ball-and-stick model. Suitable for science education, scientific presentation slides, and scientific illustration and visualization.

--- Model Overview ---

  • Source structure: PDB ID 1EMA (Green Fluorescent Protein from Aequorea victoria)
  • Method of source structure: X-ray diffraction (1.90 Å resolution)
  • Representation: Ribbon (cartoon) model
  • Chromophore: CRO (formed from residues 65-67), shown as a ball-and-stick model
  • Created in: Blender 5.2.2 LTS
  • Vertex count: 108,172

--- Shading Options (.blend) ---The native .blend file includes switchable shading setups:

  1. Rainbow gradient from N-terminus to C-terminus
  2. Coloring by secondary structure
  3. Coloring by chain (single color, see note below)
  4. Coloring by B-factor

--- UV Maps ---Three UV maps are included, encoding:

  1. Relative position along the chain (N- to C-terminus) and secondary structure type
  2. Chain identity (1 chain)
  3. B-factor

These UV maps can be used to build your own custom materials and color schemes in other software.

Note on chain coloring: 1EMA contains a single polypeptide chain. The chain UV map and chain color scheme are included for consistency with our other protein models, but the chain coloring appears as a single color.

--- File Formats ---

  • .blend: Full scene with all four shading options and three UV maps.
  • .fbx: Includes the three UV maps and color data for the secondary-structure and chain color schemes. The N-to-C gradient and B-factor shading are not included.
  • .obj: Includes the three UV maps and color data for the secondary-structure and chain color schemes. The N-to-C gradient and B-factor shading are not included.
  • .stl: Geometry only (no UV or material data).

Note: The FBX, OBJ, and STL files were generated using Blender's built-in exporters and have not been tested in other software. Appearance may vary depending on the importing application.

--- Disclaimer ---This model is intended for visualization and educational purposes. Its scientific accuracy is not guaranteed, and it should not be used as a reference for research or structural analysis.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
