title = "The Artistic and Scientific Nature of Protein Structure: A Historical Overview",
abstract = "This author has been fascinated with proteins{\textquoteright} visual beauty since her introduction to molecular modeling software for small molecules and subsequent use of computational software that permitted 3D visualization of proteins. With the use of computational software to view proteins for the first time, the visual possibilities resulted in a moment of awe with the seeming simplicity of a protein{\textquoteright}s primary structure of amino acids. These amino acids define a secondary structure wherein alpha helices and beta sheets are nested, fold and connect to form the tertiary structure, and form a quaternary structure such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase II, a complex of proteins. We can stand back, look at a protein as a piece of art, and know that its structure informs the viewer how the protein will function scientifically. The author has chosen several proteins of historical significance. Are there others? Yes, and so the initial question became, what proteins to choose. Enjoy the journey.
