MPG to GIF

A couple of years ago we published a paper on the discovery of a TAK1 inhibitor in which we included an x-ray crystal structure. Somebody wanted to use an animated picture of the crystal structure in a website and so I made a few movies and turned one of them into a .gif so I could drop it into a website without any problem. He it is.

This a a ribbon structure with the ligand shown as a space-filling molecule. It spins at about 15 rpm. Maybe too fast! The crystal is 5v5n and the movie was made with MacPyMol.
