• DNA: QuickTime (1.0M, 290x288 pixels), MPEG (852K) movies showing a rotating DNA. Original molecular images were generated with HyperChem for Windows and put together in Adobe Premiere. Created by Dr. Yue-Ling Wong.

• Protein: QuickTime (4.0M, 321x374 pixels), MPEG (1.7M). Ribbon representation of Phosphopyruvate dehydratase x-ray crystal structure from Brookhaven Protein Data Bank. Images were generated using MSI's Quanta 3.31. Movie was composed in Adobe Premiere 3.0. The QuickTime movie uses the animation codec and requires a data transfer rate of 260 K/sec or higher for smooth playback. Created by Dr. Yue-Ling Wong.

• Anaglyphic (red-blue) movie of HIV protease-inhibitor complex: QuickTime (326K, 350x232 pixels) , MPEG (126K) Note: You need a pair of red-blue glasses (red on the left-eye and blue on the right-eye) to view this stereo movie. It shows a rotating HIV protease-inhibitor complex in ribbon and sticks representations (x-ray crystallographic data from Brookhaven Protein Data Bank). Created by Dr. Yue-Ling Wong.

• Aspirin: QuickTime (813K, 320x240 pixels), MPEG (172K) movies showing aspirin in thin bond, ball and stick, liquorice, VDW and ray trace representations. Original 24-bit molecular images were generated with MSI's Quanta from the X-ray structure, and then put together in Adobe Premiere. Created by Dr. Yue-Ling Wong.

• Ethanol: QuickTime (342K, 320x240 pixels), MPEG (312K) movies showing ethanol in stick, dot surface, disc and shaded sphere representations. Original molecular images were generated with HyperChem for Windows and put together in Adobe Premiere. Created by Ching-Wan Yip.

• 3dxyslic: A QuickTime (279K, 320x240 pixels), MPEG (140K): movies showing slices through 3dxy orbital revealing the electron density.

• 3dxy: A QuickTime (117K, 320x240 pixels), MPEG (63K): movies showing a rotating 3dxy orbital.

• 3dzziso: A QuickTime (144K, 320x240 pixels) , MPEG (167K): movies showing isosurfaces of a 3dz2 orbital.

• 3py: A QuickTime (27K, 320x240 pixels), MPEG (54K): movies showing a rotating 3py orbital.

The electron density data were calculated based on hydrogenic wave functions using a Fortran program on a SUN workstation. The isosurface plots and data slice plots were generated in AVS using a SGI workstation. The images were then converted into QuickTime movies on a Macintosh computer.
