These models depict molecules that are essential for autophagy. Autophagy means “self-devouring” and is a process in our cells where molecules are broken down and recycled. These structures are composed of "ATG proteins", where ATG stands for "autophagy-related". The club-shaped structure is composed of ATG 12, ATG 15 and ATG 16. The spherical structure depicts the ATG 8 protein.
Yoshinori Ohsumi donated the models to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2012. - Location
