unreferenced date April 2007 Infobox Software name Endorphin logo screenshot caption developer NaturalMotion operating system Microsoft Windows Windows genre 3D computer graphics license website http www.naturalmotion.com Natural Motion Website Endorphin is a dynamic motion synthesis software package developed by NaturalMotion . Endorphin can be used to generate computer simulations of large numbers of independent characters interacting with each other and the world according to brief scripts or behaviours . It combines physics, AI, and genetic algorithm s to create realistic animations. Unlike Euphoria software Euphoria , also developed by NaturalMotion , Endorphin is not an engine, but a 3D animation tool for Windows PC. At the heart of the software is an adaptive behaviors module which assigns context sensitive motions to characters based on their surroundings for example, football players could be programmed to automatically tackle when near another player, or a swordsman could swing to attack nearby enemies. This automatic behaviour generation differentiates the software from competitors, and reduces the burden on animators to individually select behaviours for each agent in a large scene. A full list of features http www.naturalmotion.com files endorphin27 specsheet.pdf is available in PDF format . Registered users on Naturalmotion s website can attain a free learning edition of Endorphin, however it lacks the feature to export the animation to popular CAD Software, a feature only available in the full version of the program. It has been used in many movies and video games such as Troy film Troy , Poseidon film Poseidon and Tekken 5 .

Opioid peptides are short sequences of amino acid s that bind to opioid receptor s in the brain opiate s and opioid s mimic the effect of these peptides. Opioid peptides may be produced by the body itself, for example endorphin s. The effects of these peptides vary, but they all resemble opiates. Brain opioid peptide systems are known to play an important role in motivation , emotion , attachment theory attachment behaviour , the response to Stress biology stress and pain , and the Hunger motivational state control of food intake . Opioid like peptides may also be absorbed from partially digestion digested food casomorphin s, Gluten exorphin exorphins , and rubiscolin s , but have limited physiological activity. The opioid food peptides have lengths of typically 4 8 amino acids. The body s own opioids are generally much longer. Opioid peptides produced by the body The human genome contains three Homology biology homologous gene s that are known to Genetic code code for endogenous opioid peptides. Each gene codes for a large Protein precursor protein that can be Protease processed to yield smaller peptide s that have opiate like activity.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferase s, specifically those acyltransferase s transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl CoA peptide Nalpha acetyltransferase . Other names in common use include beta endorphin acetyltransferase , peptide acetyltransferase , protein N terminal acetyltransferase , NAT , Nalpha acetyltransferase , amino terminal amino acid acetylating enzyme , and acetyl CoA peptide alpha N acetyltransferase . Structural studies As of late 2007, two tertiary structure structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with Protein Data Bank PDB accession codes PDB link 2OB0 and PDB link 2PSW .
