Abstract

The first three-dimensional pictures of molecular models using the full color Xograph® technique suggest the value of such illustrations for conveying spatial impressions on the printed page without the use of auxiliary devices. Pictures of a space-filling model of lysozyme and its substrate, accompanied by discussion of the mechanism of action in terms of active sites, are presented as an example.

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

The Editors and management of THE JOURNAL recognize an obligation beyond the presentat,ion of new research reports in biochemistry to continue exploring improved techniques for the communication of scientific information. This is the first publication of three-dimensional pictures of molecular models made by the full color Xograph@ print technique developed jointly by Eastman Chemical Products, Inc., and Cowles Communicat’ions, Inc. The photographic process involved is based on the Parallax Panoramagram technique.
