More than 85 institutes using a salary of xxMrd. Euro per year. We, as one of the small research units, were allowed to deliver the cover image for the year of bio-science. (well, got the structure right in time it seems)
One of a scientist (small) dreams: Once to make it onto the cover of 'nature'. Structurally showing the binding sites of five different antibotics on the large ribosomal subunit was worth it. --> publications
A ribosome related collection of reviews. When they were asking for a cover image, I had the idea to show not only the structures of ribosomal particles, but also an overview of structure related to the process of proteinbiosynthesis (as far as a structure existed). That shows a little bit about the complexibility of protein biosynthesis.
A 'side product' of the cover shown on the left, unfortunately they lost the red during printing (I didn't) ......
A nice side effect of this image appeared when the senior editor of the Journal of Cell Science saw it, we got a request for a similar representation as a poster. What we made out of it, see PDF und Poster
Nice, to see our result on a textbook. Published in august 2003. --> Dieter Holzner, Wiley-VCH
Max-Planck Directors Handbook 2005. Crystals of the 50S ribosomal subunit from Deinococcus radiodurans in polarised light.
Original suggestions and some background information to the above listed can be found on our ribo-art ('eye-ware') pages, as well as suggestions which didn't make it for whatever reasons.
Images choosen for the Max-Planck desk-calendar 2005
Collage of cells from Deinococcus radiodurans
Crystals of the 50S ribosomal subunit from Deinococcus radiodurans in polarised light.
View into the tunnel of a ball-model. See more at 'eye-ware'.
These two ever where chosen for postcard production.
(For the Max-Planck exhibition - Life Sciences alltogether more than 200 imgages were delivered from 23 Institutes. The stock from which the desk-calendar was built. We got 4 weeks, not bad at all.)
