We just fixed downloads: every STL now comes straight from fast, reliable storage, saved under its own name, we're making 10,000 STL files and dozens of new tools, so things might break. We'll fix them ASAP.

Two coiled helices stand side by side in this stylized model of the voltage sensing domain of a gated ion channel, with the charged S4 helix at its heart. Each ribbon spirals upward in broad turns, small branching side chains reach inward between the coils, and looping strands join the tops and bottoms of each helix. The open structure makes the twisting fold easy to follow from any side. It fits a cell biology classroom, a bioelectricity study desk or a science display shelf as a tactile way to show how membrane proteins sense voltage.
