Latest reviews of iMolekula: DNA, RNA, proteins app for iPhone and iPad
To anyone trying to grasp the essentials of molecular biology this presentation gives an easy but informative introduction. I would love to see more detailed examples on other aspects of the subject. The creator has a gift as an educator.
This helped to put things into perspective. Would help if there were more details on protein structure, cell structure and components. Maybe in the future there will be animation, but a good app to get started!
App will not DO anything. Just a series of pictures with some basic info. Can get the same info in a standard school textbook. Not interactive or interesting for students.
