Using 2-dimensional (2D) images in order to teach about 3-dimensional (3D) molecules can limit the ability of students to grasp key visuospatial elements of 3D macromolecular structures, including depth perception and a sense of scale. The lack of simple, accessible, and easy-to-use teaching tools for visualizing and interacting with (i.e., rotating, translating, zooming) 3D virtual representations of macromolecular structure also continues to be a limitation for biochemistry instructors interested in incorporating more 3D visualizations in their classrooms. To address this current gap in available instructional tools, a novel app utilizing augmented reality (AR) technology to visualize macromolecular structures is described. The app allows users to easily visualize and manipulate the 3D structure of the potassium channel and is accompanied by a set of curricular materials to facilitate app implementation during a discussion on membrane transport. The app is free to download on both iOS and Android systems, is suitable for use on mobile and tablet systems, and is aimed for target audiences ranging from introductory to advanced undergraduate levels.

BiochemAR:用于教授高分子结构和功能的增强现实教育工具

为了教授3D(3D)分子,使用2D(2D)图像可能会限制学生掌握3D大分子结构的关键视觉空间元素的能力,包括深度感知和尺度感。缺乏用于可视化和与大分子结构的3D虚拟表示并与之交互(即旋转,平移,缩放)的简单,可访问且易于使用的教​​学工具,这仍然是有兴趣纳入更多3D可视化的生物化学教师的局限性在他们的教室里。为了解决可用教学工具中的这一当前差距,描述了一种利用增强现实(AR)技术可视化大分子结构的新颖应用程序。该应用程序使用户可以轻松地可视化和操纵钾通道的3D结构,并附带一套课程材料,以在有关膜运输的讨论中促进应用程序的实施。该应用程序可在iOS和Android系统上免费下载,适合在移动和平板电脑系统上使用,其目标受众是入门级和高级本科程度的目标受众。
