Osnat Herzberg, a crystallographer at the University of Maryland, and 
Kap Lim have produced a stunning movie of the catalytic reaction in 
pyruvate phosphate dikinase, with accompanying major conformational 
changes of the protein, complete with zooming in to watch individual 
bonds break and form, and zooming out to see the whole protein. Don't miss it:
