3D Printed Physical Model of Hemoglobin3D Printed Physical Model of Hemoglobin
Shown below is a 3D printed physical model of Hemoglobin, based on the structure 1a3n.pdb. The two alpha-globin chains are colored light red, the two beta globin chains are colored dark red, and the four heme groups are colored yellow. It has been designed with precisely embedded magnets that allow the four chains to pull apart into individual pieces.
