✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Teaching students about the structure and function of proteins is central to Biochemistry, but it is often extremely difficult to impart an understanding of complex three‐dimensional relationships when using two‐dimensional projection screens. The ready availability of both high‐quality molecular visualization software and programs capable of generating anaglyph images makes it possible to bring spatial relationships to life with three‐dimensional images using standard projection facilities and inexpensive red/cyan glasses; 3D graphical representations make a simple, economical, and effective addition to the graphical tools used in teaching Biochemistry.
