Elisabeth Baland; Lucía Pérez Jimenez; André Mateus – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
The function of proteins is governed by their three-dimensional structure. This structure is determined by the chemical characteristics and atomic interactions of amino acids. Students of biochemistry, with a particular focus on protein chemistry, benefit from looking at protein structures and understanding how proteins are built and fold. Due to…

Stasinakis, Panagiotis K.; Nicolaou, Despoina – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
The molecular structure of living organisms and the complex interactions amongst its components are the basis for the diversity observed at the macroscopic level. Proteins and nucleic acids are some of the major molecular components, and play a key role in several biological functions, such as those of development and evolution. This article…

Sweet, Chelsea; Akinfenwa, Oyewumi; Foley, Jonathan J., IV – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
We present an interactive discovery-based approach to studying the properties of real gases using simple, yet realistic, molecular dynamics software. Use of this approach opens up a variety of opportunities for students to interact with the behaviors and underlying theories of real gases. Students can visualize gas behavior under a variety of…

Smyth, Timothy – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1987
Describes a computer program that allows undergraduate students to undertake nomenclature tutorials in organic chemistry, where user response is evaluated based on a set of rules that determine appropriate feedback. Design of the software is described, including the use of computer graphics, and results of students' evaluations are briefly…
