Note: MacroMole has been superceded by BioMole. BioMole is interactive, more robust and far cooler.

MacroMole presents the structure and function of biological molecules with a focus on understanding proteins. It is primarily designed for students in Biology at either the introductory college level or college prep high school students, especially in AP Biology. However, it does not require an extensive background and is appropriate for anyone with an interest. MacroMole is colorful as well as informative.

Each of the seven subunit consists of five to sixteen sections, 67 sections in all. Each section features a simple movie ranging from the rotation of a molecule to an animation of the assembly of a protein. There is a scrollable text section explaining the concept and each section offers up to four images or overlays which add further details to the concept.

The subunits include:
• Functional Groups
• Carbohydrates
• Lipids
• Amino Acids
• Protein Structure
• Protein Survey
• Nucleic Acids

These materials are based on my 24 years of successful teaching of Advanced Placement Biology. When you understand and can visualize the structure of these important molecules, the rest of Biology just makes more sense.

MacroMole runs natively on both iPad and iPod/iPhone including iPhone 5. You can see more screenshots on my website where you can also find contact information in case you have any issues or comments.
