Protein Folding Animation

-A dramatic video of simulated protein folding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFcp2Xpd29I. Note: accompanied by loud music!

As you watch the protein backbone move around (and especially at the end of the video), think of the rotations of aliphatic compounds in a conformational analysis problem.

As you watch the secondary structure of alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheets form, remember they are held together by attractive hydrogen-bonding (dipole-dipole interactions).

-This simulation shows a lot of rotation around the bonds in the peptide backbone and folding to form a hydrophobic core::
