Animated molecular movie of penicillin biosynthesis (VIDEO)
Caption
Animated molecular movie of penicillin biosynthesis. Each frame shows a different stage of the reaction as IPNS converts its substrate into penicillin. The animation was reconstructed from several time-resolved X-ray crystal structures collected at different reaction times, allowing the complete catalytic process to be visualized at atomic resolution.
