Morph of antibody complexed with rhinovirus

MPEG version (192K) Quicktime version (1611K)

Summary

This movie (created on a Macintosh computer) illustrates the hypothesized correspondance of the IgG model to the 3D cryoelectron microscopy image reconstruction of the antibodies complexed with rhinovirus. The Fc portion of the IgG is not visible, apparently because it is too mobile to produce reinforcement in the enhancement stage.

A morph is a combination of a cross-dissolve and the movement of pixels in order to simulate a smooth transition between the start and end images. This type of special effect is popular in movies and on TV (e.g. a man turning into a wolf or panther).
