An incredible story! Somewhere in link or ▶ this video the narrator casually says "... and this is why we breathe oxygen ..."
This reminded me of a beautiful animation of "Mitochondria: the cell's powerhouse" which I recently watched. ▶ this video
You want molecular dynamics. They are simulations, not real images. But otoh (visible) light rays are "about as big" as a very large protein, so you can't image them. And because of computational expense they're slow motion by necessity, which is good because very, very complex enzyme interactions means ~2-3000 interactions per second. Example: ▶ this video
