hRev7/3 crystal structure
This is the hRev7/3 crystal structure that I solved. I was inspired by double-exposure photography, so I created this image by overlaying my crystal from the screen with the structure at an atomic resolution.

  3. There is so much great artwork here. Great job everybody. For me, the true meaning of this art contest was to create an original piece of science inspired art. Those students who went above and beyond with a cartoon rendering of their own results, such as Rachael Norris, and creating something completely unrelated to what they study, but recognizing the animal subjects used in research (Britt Knight) should be recognized.
