    ATP-synthase morphing File AVI

    Hypothetical mechanism of the enzyme, based on the crystallographic structures of the protein obtained in different states.

    The video was prepared with UCSF Chimera starting from coordinate files available on PDB.

    PETase File MP4

    This video was generated using the ChimeraX software and focuses on the structure of a PETase protein, a bacterial enzyme capable of hydrolyzing ester bonds in PET. (The low quality of the video is due to the file size limitation of Moodle.)
