These remarkable organic molecules have unique shapes and perform countless essential tasks in our bodies and throughout nature.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Unfold Your World: nature\u2019s molecular wonders<\/em> was developed in 2024 as part of EMBL\u2019s 50th birthday celebrations. This collaborative initiative grew from the pioneering work of the PDBe team at EMBL-EBI and offers a dynamic fusion of arts and science, using proteins as creative inspiration. The project aimed to ignite curiosity about proteins and encourage young people to respond creatively to their discoveries. Teenagers aged 14-18 from across Europe submitted artworks inspired by protein form and function, all of which are now showcased online. The project culminated in December with a vernissage, an exhibition preview, showcasing art works alongside an exciting program with protein-themed activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling inspired? Dive into the world of proteins through our tutorials, explore the PBDe webpage, and unleash your creativity by crafting your own protein-inspired artwork!&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vf-embed vf-embed--16x9 | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\"\n>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1PUV8a4nSKA?si=nhVeNI9UgbqXt4w7\" frameborder=\"0\" controls allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/uyw-homepage-photo-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/uyw-homepage-photo-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/uyw-homepage-photo-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/uyw-homepage-photo-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/uyw-homepage-photo.png 1473w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"938\" height=\"417\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats.png 938w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats-768x341.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"938\" height=\"417\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats2.png 938w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats2-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats2-768x341.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"938\" height=\"417\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats3.png 938w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats3-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/public-engagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250714_SEPE_UYW_Stats3-768x341.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>\n    <\/style>\n\n<section id=\"wp-block-1\">\n  <div class=\"vf-card-container  | vf-u-fullbleed  \n  | vf-u-background-color-ui--grey--light \">\n          <div class=\"vf-section-header | vf-u-margin__bottom--600 | vf-u-sr-only\">\n        <h2 class=\"vf-section-header__heading\" >\n        collection    <\/h2>\n              <\/div>\n      \n\n<div class=\"vf-grid | vf-grid__col-3\"><div class=\"vf-grid__col--span-2\"><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A vibrant collection of artworks created as part of <em>Unfold Your World: nature&#8217;s molecular wonders, <\/em>is now displayed on the large&nbsp; LED wall at The World of Molecular Biology exhibition in EMBL Heidelberg, together with a selection of sculptures and 3D art.&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the artworks showcased on the LED wall, a display case at the exhibition entrance tells the story of this innovative project, including photos and press cuttings from the <em>Unfold Your World<\/em> vernissage in December 2024, which was attended by more than 250 people.
