protein rotate

This is Adipocyte Lipid Binding Protein, a beta barrel protein. As it rotates, it demonstrates 5 different views of the same structure:

1) Only the backbone atoms, in a ball and stick representation, with the hydrogen bonds shown in blue-green
2) All atoms, again in ball and stick representation
3) All atoms, now represented as Van der Waals spheres
4) A molecular surface, which becomes transparent
5) The secondary structure cartoon is traced while it rotates, in order to show the path of the backbone
