Signal Recognition Particle    |    Eric Keller, Steve Davy, Stylus Visuals

This Maya animation depicts the process by which the translating ribosome is halted by the signal recognition particle (SRP). The ribosome is subsequently brought to the membrane and docked with a channel to translocate the nascent polypeptide chain.

Microtubules: Structure, Function & Dynamics    |    Geordie Martinez, Steve Davy, Stylus Visuals

This Maya animation depicts the dynamic self-assembly and dissassembly processes of microtubules. The animation incoporates atomic resolution structural information for tubulin (as it undergoes a GTP vs GDP-induced conformational change), as well as cryoEM data for ‘protofilament peels’ and ‘helical ribbons’ from the Nogales lab.
