Visual Haptic-Based Biomolecular Docking and Its Applications in E-Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual haptic-based biomolecular docking systems could be used for both research and e-learning in research intensive disciplines such as biology, physical chemistry, molecular medicine, biophysics, structural biology, bioinformatics, etc. The assembly of molecules in a three-dimensional space or molecular docking is used for rational drug design where a ligand docks onto a receptor. The computer-aided design systems allow a real-time interactive visualization and manipulation of molecules in virtual environment. These techniques help the user to understand molecular interactions. In recent years, besides the visualization techniques, there has been increasing interest in using haptic interfaces to facilitate the exploration and analysis of molecular docking. Haptic device enables the users to manipulate the molecules and feel its interaction during the docking process in virtual experiment on computer. In this paper, we describe a visual haptic-based biomolecular docking system that we developed for research in helix-helix docking and propose its application in e-learning. We also describe haptic-based collaborative e-learning scenarios.

متن کاملExploring relationships between students' interaction and learning with a haptic virtual biomolecular model
This study explores tertiary students’ interaction with a haptic virtual model representing the specific binding of two biomolecules, a core concept in molecular life science education. Twenty students assigned to a haptics (experimental) or no-haptics (control) condition performed a “docking” task where users sought the most favourable position between a ligand and protein molecule, while stud...

متن کاملLaplace-filter enhanced haptic rendering of macromolecules
The modeling of large biomolecular assemblies frequently requires a combination of multi-resolution data from a variety of biophysical sources. Several algorithmic solutions to this docking problem have been proposed which are usually based on the spatial cross correlation. In [1] it was shown that Laplace-filtering techniques can improve the docking performance of these algorithms. This note p...
