Flash movie of the dynamics of water molecules in the first hydration shell of THP

This video works when you have Flash 7+ installed on your Web browser. If you have a slow connection it may take some time before the movie starts playing.

It shows the dynamics of water molecules as they migrate from the first hydration shell of the collagen-like triple helix peptide into the bulk solution. The three coils of the peptide are colored in cyan, green and purple. The 12 migrating water molecules are shown as a space filling model. Click here for details of the simulation.
