A structure of the central portion of a flagellar motor (PDB ID 7CGO) paired with an artistic rendering of the whole complex within a bacterial cell wall. This artwork is the result of a collaboration between Beata Mierzwa and David Goodsell highlighting their complementary approaches to science visualization: using intuitive elements and metaphor to guide viewers through complex biological processes, and integrating data from different sources into a coherent whole. Featured on the cover of The Biochemist, this artwork was created for their article titled ‘Picturing science: using art and imagination to explore new worlds’ on how traditional artistic methods allow us to deepen our understanding of scientific concepts, inspire creative thinking, and engage new communities (https://doi.org/10.1042/bio_2021_156).
