I created this animation of muscle myosin pulling a thin filament in 1999 for the Milligan and Vale Science paper referenced below. It was my first major project using Cinema4D instead of my old favorite StrataStudioPro on a mac.
Mike Morales and Peter Walter created a narration for Garland publishers Molecular Biology of the Cell, Alberts et al.
For details on the science behind the animated visualization, please check out the original paper:
Vale, R. D. & Milligan, R. A. The Way Things Move: Looking Under the
Hood of Molecular Motor Proteins Science, 2000, 288, 88-95
Created by Graham Johnson of fivth.com and Graham Johnson medical media www.grahamj.com, for Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4e by Alberts, Walter, et al, Gardland Publishers. ©2002
