Crystal Protein Custom Order Form

Here's the place to describe your protein model. This form gives some of the popular options, and we'll be in touch with a quote, and maybe a few questions, when we receive it. If the form doesn't serve your purpose, please write or call (831)421-0677.

1. What structure would you like to draw?

PDB ID: or upload PDB file here: (50 MB file size limit)

2. How to draw it? The setup charge ($115) covers any combination of these styles:

Cartoon style example

Cartoon

Fixed-width ribbon style with arrows for β-strands, curls for α-helices, and thin lines for random coil. The classic Richardson ribbon style.

Wireframe style example

Wireframe

Each bond is a line segment.

Sphere style example

Spheres

Accents for significant atoms, such as metal ions.

Space-Filling style example

Space-Fill

Spheres for each atom are united to form a volume. Also called calotte or CPK.

Backbone style example

Backbone

Trace the α-carbons with line segments or a smooth spline.

Ribbon style example

Smooth Ribbon

A ribbon whose width varies with the curvature.

Which parts of the structure should be drawn in which style?

A picture is worth a thousand words. If you have a screen shot showing the orientation and appearance you'd like, please upload it here:

3. What size and shape should the glass be?

These are the most popular shapes we stock — more sizes and shapes are available! Each can be used in either portrait or landscape orientation. Some may suit your structure better than others; we're happy to advise.

Narrow 50-50-80mm 2-2-3 1/8"	$28	Block 65-65-85mm 2 ½-2 ½-3 3/8"	$50

Brick 60-80-120mm 2 3/8-3 1/8-4 3/4"	$85	Small Cube 60mm 2 3/8"	$36

Tower 75-75-150mm 3-3-6"	$120	Cube 80mm 3 1/8"	$75

Tall Tower 75-75-225mm 3-3-9"	$145	Keychain 30-20-15mm (10-piece minimum)	$11

4. How many pieces? Quantities over 10 may qualify for discounts.

5. Options

Does your model have a molecular surface? ($45)

Surfaces may cover part or all of the protein. They are translucent, so the structure within can be seen clearly; this can be a remarkably beautiful effect.

How about a text legend? ($20)

Add a name, occasion, PDB code, or message. How much text will fit depends on how large your block is: usually a few words to a few lines.

Text to add:

A lighted display stand?

These set off the structure with a light bright enough for daytime/office viewing. They have a gloss black finish, with white LEDs that stay cool and don't use much power. AC is standard, battery pack is available.

Stands are available to fit most crystals, $20 to $45 depending on size.

6. Need anything else? We handle all kinds of special requests.

7. Lastly, your contact info:
