Hi, All,

Is there a program that can make a movie of a protein structural
transition, given a "start" and an "end" conformations of the same
protein? 

We have determined two very different structures of one protein domain,
and would like to present the structural transition in a reasonable way.
Going from one structure to the other may involve unfolding part of the
protein and refold it. Such a big conformational change is difficult to
model, therefore, a program with some level of automation would be really
helpful.
