- knetworx, on 03/21/2008, -0/+16"First 3-D image..." + no pic = lame
- Higgles, on 03/21/2008, -0/+11Biggest. Letdown. Ever.
- maheshee11, on 03/21/2008, -0/+7Here is the pic

Proud to say my adviser in Visualization is from Purdue ;) - Flatlineskillz, on 03/21/2008, -1/+8Pics or it didnt happen!
- Mykal73, on 03/21/2008, -0/+6buried for no pic
- devinmurphy, on 03/21/2008, -0/+6How can you post a story ABOUT a pic, with no pic? At least draw something up in paint for gods sake.
- icexe, on 03/21/2008, -0/+6well, that was pretty underwhelming....
- an10ae, on 03/21/2008, -1/+556 diggs no comments?
P.S.
where's the pics? - CoolWind, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3so uh... like where's de image?
- finalcloud33, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3Thank you for disappointing me, you douche bag...
- melonade, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2And... enormous wave of disappointment.
- MrCrispyChicken, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Who's actually digging this?
- gdha, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1That's awesome.
- CaptainLando, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1You are wrong about how x-ray crystallography should look.
Regular X-rays will give images like the ones to which you link. However, the results of X-ray crystallography are patterns called "reflections" which look like nothing more than a bunch of random dots. These dots are translated into a map, which is then used with visualization software to produce the image to which I linked.
This type of image (the one I linked to) is much more useful than anything an electron microscope will produce. - KyleGoetz, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2That's not a pic, just to let people know; I guess it's just an "image" and "image" is a euphemism for "get your hopes up for an electron microscope image of the actual DNA+drug." The article says they visualized it with X-ray crystallography, which should have given them an image like these http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr= ...
They probably used their x-ray crystallography results to create that 3-D model in another program, because x-ray crystallography doesn't come out with balls and sticks and in color. - Maver1c, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1THAT PICTURE IS AMAZING
- Pinkertinkle, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1"might lead to the development of better chemotherapy drugs."
Maybe, but most likely it'll just be a pretty picture and a feather in the first author's hat. - IAmHydrogen, on 03/21/2008, -0/+0This is only the first 3D image created for this particular drug. They already have crystallography data for other chemo-drugs, like cisplatin. So, no, this is not the FIRST 3D image of a drug bound to DNA, in a literal sense.
- LilCarrots, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1it looks 2-dimensional to me
