School biology teaching given a helping hand with molecular game and software

EzMol brings to life the complex three-dimensional shape of proteins and nucleic acids. Via the EzMol web site, students can upload the structure of a molecule, choose a view, interactively select and colour the regions of interest, and then save images to use in essays.
EzMol also has a schools portal, which links its graphics to a quiz about the structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids, aimed at A-level students. EzMol was developed in the laboratory of Professor Michael Sternberg at Imperial College London as a research tool and is already used by both university students and researchers to illustrate their molecules.
