Hi there,

My name is Alan Robinson and I work in the Physical Chemistry Dept
of the University of Oxford, UK, where I do computer simulations
of biomembranes.

I came across VRML completely by accident whilst trying to get
to grips with Inventor and I've been using VRML now for the last
couple of weeks.

I've done something with VRML that others might be interested in :-)
It's called Builder and allows you to build a model of a cell membrane.
You can choose which and how many solutes you want in there and
whereabouts they are to go as well. You make your choice from a
list of proteins, cholesterols and glycoproteins.
Once you've built your model you can learn more about the bits in it as
they are hyperlinks to short descriptions.

Anyway, you can find it via

or

later,
Alan.

PS I've tried to cut out as much white space as possible and numbers are
only quoted to 1 dp to speed up data transfer.
