Craig, Paul A.; Michel, Lea Vacca; Bateman, Robert C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2013
As biochemists, one of our most captivating teaching tools is the use of molecular visualization. It is a compelling medium that can be used to communicate structural information much more effectively with interactive animations than with static figures. We have conducted a survey to begin a systematic evaluation of the current classroom usage of…
