You are going to learn molecular biology by application of virtual-reality technologies. The mobile apps allows you to manipulate biomolecules in 3-D using virtual reality headset. You can experience biomolecules more memorable than anything you read in a book.

22 virtual biomolecules are available, aiming to help you understand the structures and key features of them.
The virtual biomolecules are listed as below:
A. Purine and pyrimidine base
  • Adenine (A)
  • Guanine (G)
  • Cytosine (C)
  • Thymine (T)
  • Uracil (U)
B. Nucleotide
  • ATP
  • CTP
  • GTP
  • TTP
  • UTP
C. Base pairing
  • A-T (Adenine-Thymine)
  • C-G (Cytosine-Guanine)
D. Different forms of DNA
  • A-form DNA
  • B-form DNA
  • Z-form DNA
E. Transfer RNA
F. Ribosome
G. Other important molecules for molecular biology
  • Histone-DNA
  • DNA polymerase
  • DNA helicase
  • RNA polymerase
  • DNA ligase

Enjoy the virtual reality experience!
