Lundquist, Karl; Herndon, Conner; Harty, Tyson H.; Gumbart, James C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2016
It is often difficult for students to develop an intuition about molecular processes, which occur in a realm far different from day-to-day life. For example, thermal fluctuations take on hurricane-like proportions at the molecular scale. Students need a way to visualize realistic depictions of molecular processes to appreciate them. To this end,…
