Animations


"Protein rendering modes" movie + audio (mp3 EN/RU, 32 sec, 200 kb from ttsmp3.com). No TTS in Oculus.

2hac helix morphing smooth animation. Quadratic Bezier splines are used for interpolation between 3 key-frames 2HAC a, 2HAC b and 2HAC c (made by hand in Avogadro). Feedback transfer is used for point's transformation on GPU.
"Be careful with the animation! Those samples that I saw (including yours) ignore disordered Brownian movements (per 1 kinesin step taken, according to estimates, ~ 105 of "UNFINISHED" Brownian attempts), and therefore, despite prettiness, often animations are more confusing than they help understanding." Alexeii Finkelstein

Animations of the protein conformers dynamics

Not all proteins have a rigid native structure. See Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (Wiki) and IDP (Proteopedia).

Animation of 2FXY "thermal fluctuations" 15 conformers structures with the lowest energy (fixed conformers). See Thermal motion of peptide (Proteopedia.org) and foldit.fandom.com/wiki/Rotamer.

For some reason next models hang yet my Oculus Quest 2 (maybe too heavy, but they work fine on Go :)

2LJL and 1A5R chaotic dynamics animations.

Animation of clipped 2MSK "thermal fluctuations". The top of the protein is cropped to reveal the inside. How do they study the structure of a protein if it fluctuates so much? :) But the backbone is stable (the picture to the right from RCSB.org).

Animation of 2MSK "thermal fluctuations" 25 conformers structures with the lowest energy (fixed conformers).

My VR "movie" is too far from How Enzymes Work :)
