The human DNA clamp protein (PCNA) assembled in a trimer, rendered from PDB: 1AXC​.
Reason
I made this image in 2006. We now have many thousands of similar rendered protein structure images, many of which are of equally pretty and symmetrical molecular complexes, and this particular image is of unimpressive technical quality by current standards. (Compare this image of a very similar protein complex from the same article: File:1CZD.png.) I just made an incidental edit to an article it's used in and was reminded of it, and was surprised to see it's still an FP.
Articles this image appears in
DNA clamp, DNA replication, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, replisome, protein trimer
