Molecules from the Protein Data Bank

Visualizing molecules can be difficult due to the large numbers of atoms involved. Here, Mathematica represents an insulin molecule obtained from the Protein Data Bank. The original dataset contains over 15,000 atoms. Hydrogen atoms are left out here and the visualization shows over 7,700 atoms.
