Protein fix: Martin Krzywinski, a well known pi artist, here lets the first 768 decimal digits of pi behave like the string of amino acids in a protein. In other words, he arbitrarily lets the prime digits (2,3,5 and 7) be black dots. The remaining dots each are colour-coded. A computer algorithm then ‘folds’ the string in such a way to maximize the number of adjacent black dots.
