During a summer open house for NSLS and NSLS-II, Maya Koga (right) explains a 3D model of botulinum neurotoxin A, one of the deadliest toxins known. The structure of the molecule, discovered at the original NSLS (now shuttered as NSLS-II goes into operation), can lead to drugs to inhibit this potential bioterror agent. The molecule was made on a 3D printer by Tim Herman, Center for BioMolecular Modeling.
