Hei,
I’ve decided on immunoglobulin for my molecule, since I got quite familiar with it in an immunology class and have been amazed by its versatility. I think I’d like to model IGG, as it is involved in active immune responses and can be transferred from a mother to an unborn infant; IGA and IGM are polymeric and wouldn’t work as well, IGD is only produced by naive B-cells and isn’t as exciting, and IGE causes allergies.
I’m not sure about the medium yet. Since I work with garter snakes I’m trying to figure out how to work snake sheds into it. Which brings me to my design idea- I’m working on a way to blend these two images:
