Restriction Enzyme EcoR1

Restriction Enzyme EcoR1

Various DNA molecular visualizations derived from x-ray crystallography and other data sets, and imbued with dynamic movement that suggest brownian motion.

These molecular animations were created for a major trans-national production effort to raise awareness, educate and promote DNA science to the wider community, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the double helix.
