Learning MacroMol VR(圖1)-速報App

Welcome to “Learning MacroMols VR”

Learning MacroMols VR is a mobile app where you can experience

macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, carbohydrates and protein structures (from

the PDB – Protein Data Bank) in a virtual reality, using Google Cardboards.

Macromolecules typically contain hundreds of atoms, in smaller subunits called

monomers. In this app the following macrocycles are available.

DNA – is a macromolecule that carries the genetic instructions used in all living

organisms. DNA generally consists of two strands coiled around each other

forming the famous double helix. DNA strands are termed polynucleotides since

they are composed of monomers called nucleotides.

RNA – is a macromolecule essential in biological roles such as coding, decoding,

regulation, and expression of genes. RNA is assembled as one chain of

nucleotides. In contrast to DNA it is often in the form of a single-strand, folded

onto itself.

Carbohydrates – polysaccharides (e.g. cellulose) are polymeric carbohydrate

molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together.

Natural products – are chemical compounds produced by living organisms.

Here we display the macrocyclic natural product cyclosporine, used as

immunosuppressant medication.

Proteins – are macromolecules consisting of chains of amino acid monomers.

Proteins perform a number of functions within living organisms. Most drug

molecules exert their effect by binding to proteins. In this app, the X-ray crystal

structure of human insulin (PDB: 3E7Y), a protein-ligand complex of

plasminogen (kringle 1) with the bound fibrinolysis inhibitor AZD6564 and a

scope of the binding-site of human acetylcholinesterase in complex with the anti-

Alzheimer's disease drug Donepezil (PDB: 4EY7) can be experienced.

Instructions – The Google Cardboard button (or tapping on the screen) can be

used to stop/freeze the view, otherwise you travel in the direction you are facing.

The speed can be set in the settings menu.

We, EduChem VR (http://educhem-vr.com), create immersive virtual reality

world of atoms and molecules, while playing. All molecules are 3D objects and

one very efficient way to learn more and deeper about atoms and bonds is by VR.

We love feedback .

Good luck!
