Abstract
This example shows that the PDB archive not only is a high-quality source of information for experts in crystallography but also can serve as a source of knowledge and inspiration for people from other disciplines and professions who are fascinated by three-dimensional protein structures. A seemingly simple, and perhaps somewhat strange, image, such as those shown in Fig. 1, can introduce students to the diversity and complexity of protein structures.
