## Description

The future of Chemistry is here! Explore 3D structures of molecules including proteins, DNA and ligands in Virtual Reality. <br><br>Requirements: VR Google Cardboard headset with head straps and a Bluetooth gamepad.<br><br>You can directly download experimental X-ray diffraction crystallographic 3D molecular structures from the Protein Data Bank (http://www.rcsb.org). Insert simply a PDB id and press download (for example 3UZA).<br><br>Every time you open a PDB file, it will be stored in the PROtein VR app.<br><br>PROteinVR is the next generation of PDB viewer, using cutting-edge technologies, this app turns your flat phone into an interactive 3D Virtual Reality experience. <br><br>With a VR headset (Google Cardboard compatible) with head straps, everyone can dive into a 3D chemical structure from the Protein Data Bank. You will not only look at them, but you will find yourself immersed inside the protein structure. <br><br>Do you want to learn the secret of life? Explore in VR these fascinating crystal structures: http://pdb101.rcsb.org/browse<br><br>You can change the default configuration of your bluetooth controller. Recommended settings:<br>-left stick: translate left, right, forward and backward<br>-right stick: translate up and down<br>-left dpad: rotate left, right, up and down<br>- action buttons right:<br>Y = open/close action/selection menu<br>A = gaze menu selection<br>X = rotate in the z axis left<br>B = rotate in the z axis right<br>R2 = gaze change amino acid sticks/spheres representation<br><br>App developed using ipega gamepad and HooToo 3D VR Headset.<br><br>by AppMinded in collaboration with Heptares Therapeutics.<br>Francesca Ghezzo, Andrea Bortolato, Jon Mason
