Still from a short clip I animated showing the active site of a mutated IDH1 molecule producing and expelling molecules of 2-hydroxyglutarate (in orange).

This is a different rendering technique I used for a journal cover. The IDH1 molecule is shown flying out from the cancerous glial cell. The darker colors suggest a more foreboding atmosphere (it is cancer after all). Both renderings were produced using Mental Ray's Arch & Design materials.
