It's a natural: Crystal Proteins are beautiful, accurate models that give real-world insight into complex structures. 

We work directly from your PDB file, and most features found in standard molecule viewers will render well.  Many sizes of glass are available – keychains to paperweights to large awards, with light stands to fit – and text or graphics can be added right in the glass. 

Our dedicated software and high-resolution lasers give clean, fine-grained images, and we bring an artist's vision to each project that highlights the significance of your protein.

Crystal Protein models make useful research tools, premium mementos of a discovery or business deal, or thoughtful gifts. 

Human hemoglobin in an 80mm cube.  The chains are shown as ribbons, hemes as wireframe, and spheres accent each iron atom.

This Order Form can describe your project, or just send a PDB code or file, along with a brief description of how you'd like the model to look.

Glass sizes range from keychains to paperweights to large awards, with lighted stands to fit all sizes.  There's a setup charge of $95-150 for building your design to order, and from there you can get one or many glass pieces.  One-offs are welcome, large quantities are no problem.

We'll be in touch within a day or two, and once the details are in place you'll receive a quote and online proof, so you can see the model in 3D before glass is etched.  Once the quote and proof are approved, our production turnaround is usually 1-2 weeks. 

Acetylcholinesterase, also in a cube.  The backbone trace is enclosed in a wildly convoluted molecular surface, with one het group highlighted with spacefill.

Whether you need a research model or a retirement gift, crystal proteins are ideal.  To send your PDB for a quote today, please use our Order Form, email ray@crystalprotein.com, or call (408) 480-9125.
