LSBI has extensive background in creating visual portrayals of abstract and time-varying phenomena. Most of the animations portray processes that were investigated using state-of-the-art ab initio or semi-empirical molecular computations for quantum and quasi-classical models. Other animations portray innovative application of other, more widely known mathematical methods.

The use of animations can distill the results of many hundreds - or even many thousands - of hours of supercomputer calculations to a presentation that is readily understood by researchers, students, administrators, funding officers, and the general public.

LSBI welcomes inquiries regarding the design of media for the visual portrayal of abstract phenomena for educational or research purposes.

380Kb FLI Animation 1.0Mb QuickTime Animation	LSBI principals have produced animations for research purposes and for public viewing that portray the results of studies of complex physical phenomena within large molecules. This animation shows how animation creates the illusion of a three-dimensional object through movement.
1.01Mb FLI Animation 1.4Mb QuickTime Animation	This animation illustrates the intermediate results of a molecular modeling computation of the simulated annealing of the Closed Conformer Switch in ncd. For information about this calculation, see: Todd J. Minehardt, Roger Cooke, Edward Pate, and Peter Kollman, A molecular dynamics study of the energetic, mechanistic, and structural implications of a closed phosphate tube in ncd, Biophys. J. 80, 1151-1168 (2001).
	Many of our animations were produced under the moniker "Austin Molecule Works", and a number of clips that are intended for educational purposes are available at this location.
