Then it was simple to add the snapshots together to form a movie using Windows Movie Maker. An alternative might be to generate a morph between two different conformations/states. For example if you have two crystal structures which differ in some domain movement you can generate a morph to visualize the movement. I used the web-based tool at http://www.molmovdb.org/ which works really great. Hope this helps, Sten > Sent to CCL by: "Veer Shanmugasundaram" > [Veerabahu.Shanmugasundaram()pfizer.com] > > Dear CCL'ers: > > What are some nice tools that you have used to take multiple > conformational states of say a protein structure/model and show > conformational changes between these states as an animated movie in a > presentation. > > Thanks in advance, > Veer > ---- > Veer Shanmugasundaram, Ph.D > Computer-Assisted Drug Discovery, > Pfizer Global Research & Development, > 2800 Plymouth Road, > Ann Arbor, MI 48105. > Tel:(734)622-7131 > Fax:(734)622-2782 > Email:Veerabahu.Shanmugasundaram-x-pfizer.com> > > > Ph.
