| 1. Exhibition of Protein Physical Models exhibition throughout the whole Congress | |||||||
![]() | Here you can show your own 3D protein models. The works will be displayed at the vicinity of the Information Desk of Building B. Contact person: Zoltán Gáspári. Selected models will be exhibited throughout the whole Congress, and the authors of the best ones will be awarded after a public vote. Only 3D physical models, but no images can be proposed to this exhibition. | ||||||

) one-one paintings will be chosen by the successful applicants, who were: Elena Kameneva, Janka Matrai, Juan Javier Diaz Meija and Simona Vesa. At the session, participants will receive the "bio-painting" of another contester with the original annotations and they have to make a novel version of the bio-painting using a projected image of the original painting as a background/help in two hours. All the three versions (an image of the original painting, the original bio-painting submitted prior to the Congress and the in situ made bio-painting) will be displayed by the end of the Contest. The best participants will be awarded. Those, who are interested to watch the contesters, please come to the Science is Fun place in Building B at 13:15 on July 3rd, Sunday. Congress participants may vote for the best painting. Awards will be announced at 18:30 on July 4th Monday at the Science is Fun place. | ||||||

Recycling in Art and in the Cell A contest on the proteasome to commemorate the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the Hungarian-born Avram Hershko In 2004 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the discovery of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation performed by the proteasome, the major proteolytic (recycling) apparatus of the cytoplasm. The Prize was shared by Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hershko and Irvine Rose. Avram Hershko was born in Hungary in 1937. To commemorate this Nobel Prize we will organize a special program when the contesting teams will assemble a large variety of cleaned metal and plastic scrap. The 20 participants in four groups with the help of an artist and professional high school students will build a sculpture on the proteasomal function or image. Painting facilities and small electronic motors will also be given to help the fantasy of the teams become true. All of the sculptures will be exhibited in the congress venue and will be judged by an expert jury (Wolfgang Baumeister, Andor Udvardy and Balázs Czigler from the University of Applied Arts). The award certificates will be signed by Avram Hershko.
Those, who are interested to participate, please register at the Information Desk of Building B before 1 pm on July 4th or come to the Science is Fun place in Building B at 13:15 on July 4th, Monday. | ||||||
| 4. 3D Modeling Contest Tuesday, 13:30-17:00 | |||||||
![]() Jennifer Morris (supported by NSF) | The organizers, Michael Patrick (mpatrick@wisc.edu) and Jennifer Morris (morrisj@msoe.edu) will teach different techniques ("hands-on toys") how to make physical models of proteins real and touchable based on computer graphics. After the teaching session, a Beauty Contest will be organized and all of the created works will be exhibited at the Congress venue. The Contest will last for two hours.
