Arthur Olson is shaking up the molecular world. A structural biologist at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., Olson has been making models of proteins, DNA strands, and other biological objects for more than 25 years – first by hand, then with computers. These days, he uses rapid prototyping systems borrowed from industry, along with a small jar and a few magnets, to shake together biological models the way a bartender shakes together a good martini.
