The amicyanin active site with a radiative metal core... The basic layout was generated in Swiss-PDB viewer and exported as a Povray-script. This script was then converted to the Moray *.mdl format using the program pov2mdl after which the scene was editted further in Moray. The metal was modified by taking the CSG difference of the metal sphere and three cylinders, each aligned with a pricipal axis. I then placed a yellow light in the center of the atom and let it interact with a atmosphere, resulting in the emitting light comes. Changing the atmospheric properties that are recognized by Povray can be performed from Moray directly.
