Animated movie showing warfarin binding to cytochrome P450 2C9.

This movie shows the spatial interactions between enzyme and substrate. These spatial interactions define whether a given drug is metabolized by a given enzyme and where on the molecule metabolism is likely to occur. The movie allows the viewer to get inside the scene and follow the drug warfarin as it moves into the active site pocket of the enzyme ready for catalysis.

 

Animated movie showing how diuretics work in the kidney.

The narrated movie takes the viewer from the human silhouette down subsequent levels of detail finally ending on the transporter proteins which are the direct targets of most diuretic drugs. The movie is intended to show the flow processes within the kidney including such aspects as filtration, reabsorption, and excretion in the nephron. It also shows the molecular sequence of ion transport, how the diuretics inhibit the reabsorption of sodium, and the subsequent effects on other ions.
