  • Amyloid: Insoluble, but Solvable
    XIVth International Symposium on Amyloidosis Amyloid: Insoluble, but Solvable April 27 – May 1, 2014 Indianapolis, IN, USA JW Marriott Amyloid: Insoluble, but Solvable XIVth International Symposium on Amyloidosis April 27 – May 1, 2014 Indianapolis, Indiana, USA The sculpture is located in the Morris Mills Atrium of the VanNuys Medical Science Building (home of the Amyloid Research Center), Indiana University School of Medicine. DNA Tower, 20.2 feet (6.2 m) tall and 4.7 feet (1.4 m) in diameter, is composed of 1,200 blown- glass globes and weighs 3,000 pounds. Each globe has a different texture and weighs between 1 and 2 pounds. Mauve, green and blue globes represent the four nitrogenous bases, while yellow globes represent the sugar- phosphate backbone. The glass is held in place by a steel armature. The support of the sculpture is protected by a circular cherry wood base. The sculpture was dedicated in 2003 and commissioned to commemorate both the 100th anniversary of the Indiana University School of Medicine (founded in 2003) and the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule (discovered 1953) by Indiana University alumnus James D. Watson and his colleague Francis Crick.
