Computermodel of the Protein "Ubiquitin" in a Hydrated Ionic Liquid

everything that living things do can be understood in terms of the jiggling and wiggling of atoms - Richard Feynman
In this spirit I am studying biomolecules using computer simulations.

These two pictures show the model: The protein "ubiquitin" in a hydrated ionic liquid as solvent.

(a) The protein is represented by van der Waals balls, the hydrated ionic liquid by a transparent green mass and the simulation boundaries, a truncated octahedron, by black lines.

(b) Same as in (a) except that the solvent is reduced to solvent molecules within a 10 angstrom radius around the 76th amino acid of ubiquitin.
