Summary

This is an archived copy of Michael Sawaya's DHFR movie (supplementary material to doi/10.1021/bi962337c, links no longer work), uploaded with the author's permission.

From the original description:

Six isomorphous crystal structures of E. coli DHFR were solved (column 2 of table below), each structure analogous to a complex in the kinetic pathway (column 3 of table below). The largest motions observed correspond to M20 loop movements and subdomain movements (columns 4 & 5). These structures are depicted in the movie above in frames 01, 24, 25, 44, 51 and 56. Other frames were generated using the template forcing algorithm of the program Discover, part of a collection of programs from MSI. For further details, see Sawaya, M. R. & Kraut, J. Loop and Domain Movements in the Mechanism of E. Coli Dihydrofolate Reductase: Crystallographic Evidence. Biochemistry 1997.
