The Chakrabartty Lab's 2011 entry for the University of Toronto Dept. of Biochemistry's "Biochem Idol" video contest, copyright © 2011 Vikram K. Mulligan, Kevin C. Hadley, and Philbert Ip.

Music was taken from a 1940s-era newsreel (public domain). "Tim Hortons", "Pringles" and "Cell" are trademarks of their respective copyright holders; all of these are used here for parody purposes. No animals were harmed in the making of this motion picture.

For those wondering about the special effects, a breakdown of the "giraffe" visual effects shot is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUpcb3xRj1s.

  • i can't believe that you guys used the beta helix model at 1:35... You guys should really consider the spiral model instead!!!! >_< (heartbreaking....)

  • @sls19050: It's actually an old animation that I did a few years back; the main point was that the misfolded conformation is unambiguously different from the native state. No, I actually have very little faith in any of the speculative models of PrP aggregates that are floating around out there -- and I definitely don't mean to endorse the beta-helix model.
