Dear All, How can I get a 2D net diagram from a 3D PDB structure, to make a paper model?
What I want to do is: take a 3D structure (GFP for Eg, PDB:4xow) make a 2D image, print it on paper, roll it up to give the 3D structure of the beta barrel - made of paper.
I have tried conventional topology programs but they "straighten" the strands, so when you roll it up, the strands do not curve round the barrel as they should. I can force this manually (cut and paste etc) - but was hoping someone knows a way of doing it, in one step, within a program. Perhaps using a 2D net image generator or similar?
All the best, Alice
