Movie Gallery - Structure Proteins

All movies and images were made using VMD. Download movie files via the movie file type (.mpg, .mov) after the movie title (right-click in Windows; control-click on Macs). To view original movie files, you may need to try the Quicktime or VLC movie players. You may wish to also visit TCBG's YouTube movie gallery to view science movies.

	Proteins Building a Membrane Tube (.mpg, 5.5M)
	A variety of structures, including membrane tubes, are required to organize the many functions of living cells. The movie shows BAR domain proteins (shown in red, green, blue and yellow) sculpting a membrane (shown in grey) into a tube. The "tubulation" process occurs over a period of about 200,000 nanoseconds (ns).
	Protein Bending a Cellular Membrane (.wmv, 5.9M)
	Membranes in cells display many geometries: flat, curved, or even bubbles. Some of these structures are constructed by proteins within the membranes. The movie shows a photosynthetic light-harvesting protein (in blue, green, red) bending a membrane (in purple and yellow) into a curved shape (bronze area shows curve).
