Biochemistry video?
March 24, 2010 1:52 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for a particular video clip of a CGI animation of a biochemical process.
The video appeared on the internet probably 5-10 years ago. It was extremely well animated using CGI and lasted perhaps a couple of minutes. I don't recall any narration, but there was a soundtrack. It just showed the little proteins and organelles moving through their cellular landscape, going through their motions, from the beginning of a particular process to the end. At one point, it showed a protein (I think) processing along up a rigid structure in a funky, stepwise fashion. The feeling of the short video was mechanistic but somehow...purposeful...motion.
I've googled the heck out of this thing but find everything except what I'm looking for. Do any of you happen to know what I'm talking about? Hoping the hive mind can help.

Best answer: I think the above is right, the version without narration is from this old mefi post.

A very similar animation appeared in the movie Expelled -- so similar that a lawsuit was filed. I believe the case was eventually dismissed or dropped.

Response by poster: And may I say, ten minutes from Q to A is pretty awesome, too!
