6. 5 Example Animation The following slides show how animation can be used to demonstrate the function of a protein (von Willebrand factor).

7. 6 Von Willebrand Factor (vWf) Not sticky Sticky Attaches to Collagen

8. 7 vWf: a Natural Nanomachine Flow

9. 8 vWf: a Natural Nanomachine Flow Without flow, the first platelet passes by the protein. With flow, the protein opens and the second platelet is captured.

10. 9 Animation Methods The previous animation used the following: Entrance:Appear Exit: Disappear Start: On Click With Previous After Previous

25. 24 Important Lesson While these effects tend to be cool. Usually it is best to keep this sort of thing to a minimum. Prevent epileptic seizures Prevent sea-sickness Do not let your audience become distracted by special effects.

26. 25 Play a Video

27. 26 To Add a Video Right click on the file (in Windows Explorer) and select “copy.” Go to the Powerpoint slide and paste. Edit options (right click and go to “action settings”) – usually “object action | play”

28. 27 Caveats for Videos Make sure the application will be available on the computer you will be using. Make sure the path is correct for the computer you will be using. Pre-test the video on the computer you will be using.
