About the paper on BAMBEd
The guide provides practical advice on how to use Proteopedia as an effective tool for teaching science students. Using eleven example lessons, we show how students can learn about specific biomolecules and to explore principles of molecular structure and functions. These lessons help students acquire skills such as gaining familiarity with conventions of biomolecular visualization, utilizing technical terms that are employed in biochemistry, correlating structural features with function, and developing strategies to tackle the complexity of biomacromolecules by interacting with 3D representations of them.
