Using visualization to enhance lectures is an important educational tool. Manipulation and examination of proteins, nucleic acids and other molecules enhances lectures and labs, and allows students to probe the structure/function correlation of molecules. While visualization media is included with many textbooks, faculty and students should be comfortable creating their own visualizations for use when discussing specific topics. We have created a tutorial, in written form and in video format, to assist faculty in creating 3‐d molecules. Both web and desktop visualization applications will be demonstrated.
