The wonder of biomolecular animation

From Drew Berry and his team at WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research) , we can watch the process of homologous DNA repair occur. Until now, a student was expected to learn this complex process - step by step, protein by protein, supplied with cellular energy sources - from words and diagrams in textbooks.

Now, the process can be witnessed, and images can be stored in memory. Watching is learning with animations like this. It's a masterpiece from one of the pioneers of modern molecular animation.

Thanks to Drew and his team, credited at the end of the video, we can peer inside the cell and witness the beautiful dance of life - now on the big screen - in all its molecular glory.
