Integrative illustration of a JCVI-syn3A minimal cell

Data from genomics, proteomics, structural biology and cryo-electron microscopy are integrated into a structural illustration of a cross section through an entire JCVI-syn3.0 minimal cell. The illustration is designed with several goals: to inspire excitement in science, to depict the underlying scientific results accurately, and to be feasible in traditional media. Design choices to achieve these goals include reduction of visual complexity with simplified representations, use of orthographic projection to retain scale relationships, and an approach to color that highlights functional compartments of the cell. Given that this simple cell provides an attractive laboratory for exploring the central processes needed for life, several functional narratives are included in the illustration, including division of the cell and the first depiction of an entire cellular proteome. The illustration lays the foundation for 3D molecular modeling of this cell.

“…Some new tools were designed to tackle the challenges of illustrating biological complexity [284]. Such illustrations have been marked by the touch of their creators with a certain artistic license [285], with a range of famous contributors such as David Goodsell [286][287][288][289][290] (Figure 17B), Janet Iwasa [280] (Figure 17A), Graham Johnson [291], Gaël McGill and many more. Some general guidelines have been suggested for illustrating biomolecular structural data [292].…”

Visualizing Biological Membrane Organization and Dynamics

Biological membranes are fascinating. Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who received the Nobel prize in 1906 together with Camillo Golgi for their work on the nervous system, wrote "[..]in the study of this membrane[..] I felt more profoundly than in any other subject of study the shuddering sensation of the unfathomable mystery of life" 1 . The visualization and conceptualization of these biological objects have profoundly shaped many aspects of modern biology, drawing inspiration from experiments, computer simulations, as well as from the imagination of scientists and artists. The aim of this review is to provide a fresh look on current ideas of biological membrane organization and dynamics by discussing selected examples across fields.

“…We created a hand-rendered illustration (Figure 4) using our previously reported watercolor technique (Goodsell 2016). As in previous work, this illustration incorporates many modes of artistic license to improve the readability of the scene.…”

Information from proteomics, microscopy, and structural biology are integrated to create structural models of exosomes, small vesicles released from cells. Three visualization methods are employed and compared: 2D painting of a cross section using traditional media, manual creation of a cross section using the mesoscale 2.5D digital painting software cellPAINT, and generation of a 3D atomic model using the mesoscale modeling program cellPACK.
