Great animation of cell workings


Recommended Posts

That's was excellent. Most things were really recognisible. Anyone know the link so I could try to dowload it permenantly? The .swf just links to a video somewhere...

 

Though in a real cell things are much more congested and not quite so orderly. That wouldn't really make for much of a video.

 

I like how they use the actual structural images from .pdb to render the proteins. Very realistic. Much better than the typical spheres and ovoids.

That was a great video. I never knew cells were so busy on the inside. It's like a little factory in there - really! - those molecular structures really look intelligent.

 

Which is actually the biggest mistake in the video.

In a real cell things just bump around randomly till a favorable interation occurs. It's nowhere nearly as organised as this video would have you believe.
