This is a research project in the design and implementation of novel Human Computer Interfaces for educational use in structural molecular biology. This project will explore, define, and assess the role of computer-generated physical models in teaching scientific content and concepts. The purpose is to enhance the understanding and communication of the complex world of life's molecular machinery to a broad community. Using structural data on biological molecules and their complexes, the participants will prototype novel physical models via automated design and fabrication technologies and develop replication processes for broader distribution. The models will be used directly for enhance visualization and as input/output devices that interactively integrate with commutation and computer graphics for information retrieval, manipulation, and simulation.This project will provide new, tangible modes of interacting with, and understanding of, both the fundamental concepts and the complex data that are coming from the rapid advances in genomics, proteomics, and other areas of structural molecular biology. It will enable a broad range of students to learn, query, and explore in a field of growing scientific and social importance - the molecular basis of life. Physical models will give both haptic and visual support of the importance of shape in biological function. Use of physical models as tangible computer interfaces will revolutionize how students explore and understand biomolecular structure, interaction, and function.

这是一个研究和实施的研究项目，用于在结构分子生物学中进行教育用途的新型人类计算机界面。 该项目将探索，定义和评估计算机生成的物理模型在教授科学内容和概念中的作用。 目的是增强对生命分子机械的复杂世界对广泛社区的理解和交流。 使用有关生物分子及其复合物的结构数据，参与者将通过自动设计和制造技术原型新颖的物理模型，并开发复制过程以进行更广泛的分布。 这些模型将直接用于增强可视化，并作为输入/输出设备，与托盘和计算机图形相互融合，以获取信息检索，操纵和模拟。该项目将提供与基本概念和基本概念和复杂数据相互作用和理解的新的，有形的模式，这些模式来自基因组学，蛋白质组学，蛋白质组学，蛋白质组学和其他领域的快速进步。 这将使广泛的学生能够在不断增长的科学和社会重要性的领域学习，查询和探索 - 生活的分子基础。 物理模型将提供触觉和视觉支持，以表明形状在生物功能中的重要性。 将物理模型用作有形的计算机接口将彻底改变学生探索和理解生物分子结构，相互作用和功能的方式。
