Tools for teaching in 3D

Molecular structure is an inherently 3D subject. This is true for small molecule chemistry, but even more so when it comes to proteins and DNA – the larger molecules of biology. Students often approach biochemistry with fear and trepidation, especially protein structure. The Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) contains tens of thousands of freely available real-life examples of protein structures. They are primarily used by academics and industry across the world for biological, biochemical and medical research. But, now there’s a set of resources for you.
