StarBiochem is a 3-D protein viewer that allows students to learn key concepts about the biology of proteins in an interactive manner.
Unlike traditional 3-D protein viewers which may require installation and significant technical expertise, StarBiochem is an intuitive 3-D protein viewer designed with students in mind. StarBiochem’s user interface was designed to visually represent protein structural information based on the four different levels of protein structure, which mirrors how students get introduced to this topic in class and in textbooks.
StarBiochem is accessible via the web. Press the START button to get started.
