4. Dynamic Molecules

We can combine molecular shapes generated from PDB data or X-Ray photos, and electrostatic field of molecules computed from PDB data, to build an animation system of molecules whose configuration varies dynamically over time. Configuration at each time step including orientations and positions is computed to produce animated molecules.
