Description
This 3D model represents the MCTS1–DENR complex, a protein assembly involved in the regulation of mRNA translation. Together, MCTS1 and DENR promote translation re-initiation and facilitate ribosome recycling, enabling efficient protein synthesis from specific mRNAs. The complex plays an important role in controlling gene expression and supporting cellular growth and development. This model is for educational and scientific purposes, providing a detailed and touchable view of a molecular complex.
Print information:
Printer: Prusa MK4S
Supports required: Yes !!! Organic!!!
Layer height: min. 0.2 mm recommended for nice quality
Print scale: mind. 250 % recommended use same scale for both components of course
Print time for both parts with 0.2 mm layer hight: around 9h
Filament type: PLA
Infill percentage: 5%
Perimeters: 2
USE organic supports !!! --> won't work otherwise
Place least important surface on the build plate and surfaces you want to see oriented upwards for a nice look. Just like I did in the .3mf files and the gcodes.
