Hi Ulrich, This week I made 5 paper virus models using the Chimera flatten icosahedron tool. You can have the images I created: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/goddard/temp/viper-gallery-jun2006/ The image files are named according to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) 4 letter id code. The page http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/goddard/temp/viper-gallery-jun2006/vipergallery... shows images of the approximately 200 known virus capsids taken from the VIPER web site. http://viperdb.scripps.edu/ I added some comments to the flatten icosahedron documentation a few days ago describing "tiling" of the Chimera image to handle capsid proteins that are cut in half -- so they appear on both sides of the cut. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/experimental/flatten_icosahedron/flaticos.ht... I printed my images on standard photopaper. The images above will need to be scaled to fit on a piece of paper. I just asked my web browser to scale them to fit when I printed. One additional note about my images -- I turned on "silhouette edges" to give the black outlines around the proteins. This is done using Chimera menu entry Tools / Viewing Controls / Effects. Tom
