Description

Molecular surface representation of a nanopore (PDB ID 6si7 (https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6si7)) together with the bacteriophage phi29 DNA polymerase (PDB ID 1xhz (https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1xhz)) and a piece of DNA. The nanopore and polymerase are sliced in half and have locations for magnets, while the DNA is printed in flexible TPU. The whole complex can be assembled and disassembled really easily. Got my inspiration from the PDB 101 Molecule of the Month (https://pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/261) page. These are great for explaining how the sequencing is performed in an ONT MinIon.
