Description
I edited the following pdb model: https://pdb101.rcsb.org/learn/3d-printing/3d-print-ferritin
and added holes for four 10x2mm magnets. This model can be used to store little objects on the inside of the model and thats also where the iron is stored in the human body!
Print both parts and glue eight 10x2mm magnets to the model with a drop of glue.
From Wikipedia:
Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms, including archaea, bacteria, algae, higher plants, and animals. It is the primary intracellular iron-storage protein in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, keeping iron in a soluble and non-toxic form. In humans, it acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload.
