..., detailing the material culture of protein crystallography. This chapter pays close attention to the three-dimensionality of protein models, and to distinct affordances of different modeling media, from physical models made of ready-to-hand materials, to proprietary software designed to enable smooth...

... modeling media, from physical models made of ready-to-hand materials, to proprietary software designed to enable smooth manipulation of virtual, computer graphic models on-screen. This chapter argues that it is the tangibility and interactivity of these various media that have enabled modelers to cultivate...
