Converts Protein Data Bank structures into 3D-printable models. Each polymer chain is meshed separately and written as a named object in a single 3MF file, so a multi-material printer can assign one filament per chain. Protein chains can be rendered as a solvent-excluded surface, a cartoon, or a backbone tube; nucleic acids as a tube-and-rung form with the strands of a duplex welded at every base pair. Press-fit magnet pockets are optionally placed at chain interfaces, so a complex comes apart where its subunits actually meet. All meshes are checked for watertightness before export.

Noodle is a public, read-only web application for semantic discovery and exploration of biomedical literature sourced from PubMed, Europe PMC, and OpenAlex. It accepts natural-language research questions and presents ranked publications together with gene, genetic variant, and phenotype views.

The companion Noodle Biomedical Literature Discovery MCP exposes the same public discovery domain through a read-only, source-linked Model Context Protocol interface with bounded citation and semantic graph traversal. Semantic proximity, citation distance, co-mention, and search rank are discovery signals and do not establish scientific evidence, causality, diagnosis, or treatment.
