Copper site types

Click picture for the big version
Finally a useful picture ;-) I think that this one could even go
straight into a publication. The models shown come from azurin (1), nitrite reductase (2)
and catechol oxidase (3). The three active-site models were generated individually after
which the pictures were combined using Adobe photoshop. This program was also used to
include the titles. I copied/pasted the information on the camera perspective, lighting,
finish, texturing etc. in the POV file from one to another to make sure that every picture
was rendered in the same manner. I changed the default X_tex (copper atoms) to my favorite
T_Copper_3A texture again and included one reddish light for some, but not too much,
atmosphere. It may seem strange, but I got a lot of gratification from making this one
compared to some of the more difficult and flashy ones I made previously. I may even put a
copy in my bedroom :-) The next one I'll do will be a Moray/POV picture again...
