Biomolecular Graphics

A recently published article in PLoS Computational Biology is one by Cameron Mura and colleagues that discusses the great potential held by biomolecular graphics. It discusses the terminology, tools and how to go about teaching yourself the basics. While it is very biochemistry-focussed, the highlight of the paper "Box 2: Nine Simple Rules for Biomolecular Graphics" present some very useful hints to guide any scientific illustrator.
