Dr. Madhu Srinivasan, CG Developer at KAUST Visualization Laboratory generated 3D models and animations to visually simulate the first nanoparticle developed by KAUST Catalysis Center. KCC1 is the first Nanoparticle developed by KAUST Catalysis Center. Director of KAUST Catalysis Center, Dr. Jean-Marie Basset, Senior Research Scientist at KCC, Dr. Vivek Polshettiwar, and Dr. Dongkyu Cha of the Advanced Nanofabrication Imaging & Characterization Core Laboratory discuss the details of...

Aerotaxis is the movement of an organism in response to environmental oxygen concentrations, either towards or away from a given oxygen concentration. Many bacteria are microaerophilic meaning they prefer environments with low oxygen content. Higher or lower O2 content than the optimum are considered a repellant and bacteria will navigate towards the optimum. This animation is an overview of studying aerotaxis in motile bacteria.

Glycolysis is a determined sequence of ten reactions involving ten intermediate compounds (one of the steps involves two intermediates). The intermediates provide entry points to glycolysis. This animation features the 3D protein structures of all ten enzymes as well as the enzyme substrate and products.

Dr. Gregory Ruhnke, an Assistant Professor in the Section of Hospital Medicine at the University of Chicago, in an article coauthored with Dr. David Doukas appearing in the May 2013 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, examines the context and professional implications of residents preparing for board examinations using questions reproduced by previous residents.
