Has any movie taken advantage of any protein structure viewer, like Pymol, Rasmol, molmol, etc.? O! I found one. It was released during 2011. The movie “Contagion” which has a rating 6.7 in IMDB, and showed that a deadly virus has the ability to kill human within a day. It has a scene where Dr.Ellis Cheever (played by Laurence Fishburne) was showing the structure of the viral antigen in some protein structure viewer to Dr. Ally Hextall (played by Jennifer Ehle). One could see some multiple sequence alignment behind the viewer. I presume the viewer is Rasmol. However, the interesting fact about the movie is that they have the virus antigen structure within four days after discovering the virus and even before culturing the virus in cell.
