From February 25 to 26, 2010, in San Francisco, the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics (RBVI) and the National Center for Macromolecular Imaging (NCMI) hosted a molecular animation workshop for 21 structural biologists, molecular animators, and creators of molecular visualization software. Molecular animation aims to visualize scientific understanding of biomolecular processes and structures. The primary goal of the workshop was to identify the necessary tools for producing high-quality molecular animations, understanding complex molecular and cellular structures, creating publication supplementary materials and conference presentations, and teaching science to students and the public. Another use of molecular animation emerged in the workshop: helping to focus scientific inquiry about the motions of molecules and enhancing informal communication within and between laboratories.
2010 年 2 月 25 日至 26 日，在旧金山，生物计算、可视化和信息学资源（RBVI）和国家大分子成像中心（NCMI）为 21 位结构生物学家、分子动画师和分子可视化软件的创作者举办了一场分子动画研讨会。分子动画旨在可视化对生物分子过程和结构的科学理解。研讨会的主要目标是确定制作高质量分子动画所需的工具，理解复杂的分子和细胞结构，创建出版物补充材料和会议演示，以及向学生和公众传授科学知识。分子动画在研讨会上的另一个用途是：帮助聚焦关于分子运动的科学探究，并加强实验室内部和实验室之间的非正式交流。
