In recent years, 3D printing technology or 3D printing models have become a powerful educational tool used in many fields such as medicine, engineering and science. However, research on the integration of these technologies into formal educational environments and the researches examining their effect on students' learning biology is quite…

Biochemistry and molecular biology students are asked to understand and analyze the structures of small molecules and complex three-dimensional (3D) macromolecules. However, most tools to help students learn molecular visualization skills are limited to two-dimensional (2D) images on screens and in textbooks. The virtual reality (VR) App Nanome,…

Kerwin, Sean M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
A flexible and modular peptide modeling set was designed using freely available software tools. The set consists of space-filling models of all 20 naturally occurring amino acid side chains and a modular kit for constructing peptides employing C-alpha carbons and amide bond groups. Connectors that allow free rotation about phi and psi angles on…

Peterson, Celeste N.; Tavana, Sara Z.; Akinleye, Olukemi P.; Johnson, Walter H.; Berkmen, Melanie B. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Biology and biochemistry students must learn to visualize and comprehend the complex three-dimensional (3D) structures of macromolecules such as proteins or DNA. However, most tools available for teaching biomolecular structures typically operate in two dimensions. Here, we present protocols and pedagogical approaches for using immersive augmented…

Pinger, Cody W.; Castiaux, Andre; Speed, Savannah; Spence, Dana M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Plasma protein binding measurements are an important aspect of pharmacology and drug development. Therefore, performing these measurements can provide a valuable and highly practical learning experience for students across many scientific disciplines. Here, we describe the design and characterization of a 3D-printed device capable of performing…

Howell, Michelle E.; Booth, Christine S.; Sikich, Sharmin M.; Helikar, Tomáš; Roston, Rebecca L.; Couch, Brian A.; Dijk, Karin – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Understanding the relationship between molecular structure and function represents an important goal of undergraduate life sciences. Although evidence suggests that handling physical models supports gains in student understanding of structure-function relationships, such models have not been widely implemented in biochemistry classrooms.…

Cox, James R. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2011
This report describes the incorporation of digital learning elements in organic chemistry and biochemistry courses. The first example is the use of pen-based technology and a large-format PowerPoint slide to construct a map that integrates various metabolic pathways and control points. Students can use this map to visualize the integrated nature…
