It's Geometry, no big deal. 
I'm already done with it.

I am accepting up to three commissions for protein renderings with optional Photoshop editing tonight! Free as atmospheric air!

One order of caspase-3 coming along.
Resolution? Details? Quirks? Ribbon thickness?

That's amazing! *applauds*

I really must find a vase for these bouquets!

That's amazing! *applauds*That is only the beginning! Here, the dimer is rendered with surfaces, except one is a mesh for some level of clarity in the view:

Thanks.
Do you have anything in mind for the next revision?
[What is the Protein Modeling event? Is it computational or paper-and-pencil?]

Hmm, not really. That looks pretty good.
There are three parts to the Protein Modeling event. First, the event handbook gives us a specific protein to model using a material called Mini-Toober (in this case, it's caspase-3). We build a model with Mini-Toober beforehand and turn it in at the beginning of the competition. At the actual competition, we are given some more MIni-Toober (or pipe cleaner) and we are given another protein to model during that hour. Also, during that hour, we have to complete a written test composed of multiple-choice and free-response questions about the pre-built protein and protein structure in general.

That is exactly what I want! Of course, it means I should stop studying phi and psi because that will cause a compulsion to measure everything. But $32 seems a lot compared to cheaper media like paper attached to foil or wire in clay....
