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 college level or advanced 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 chapters consists of five to sixteen sections. 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 overlays which add further details to the movie or concept.

The chapters 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 and takes advantage of the retina display. You can see more screenshots on my website where you can also find contact information in case you have any issues or comments.
