Following video shows visualisation of export routes in program PyMol. Molecule and its trajectory were loaded into PyMol and visualised using PyMol-script files generated by CAVER.
Access tunnel to active site is represented by a white mesh. Seen are changes of tunnel shape in several snapshots of molecular dynamic trajectory. Visible are changes in tunnel direction due to occassional close up of a major export route. . Escape path was not found by CAVER for a few snapshots suggesting short-time inaccessbility of the active site.
