VR Biomolecules

The Chinese University of Hong Kong

About this app

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!
