Title: Method for reproducing minimal, cartoon-style protein structure visualisation
ThreadText: # Method for reproducing minimal, cartoon-style protein structure visualisation
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-03-21)
  
  I recently came across a preprint ( [DOI](https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.03.14.585103), [PDF link](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.14.585103v1.full.pdf) ) that has some figures of protein structures in a style that I have not seen before. To me it appears easier on the eyes and less noisy than the more traditional 3D models with lighting that "reflects" on a glossy surface. I am interested in creating similar plots of my own protein structures.
  
  Does anyone recognise this style / know how to generate these plots from a PDB file or similar?
