Description

Virtual Expedition into the cell: take a closer look at the finest system of cell communication and the complex world of the protein machinery.
With your Google Cardboard on, immerse yourself in the microworld of the cell, explore the cell surface and the molecular complexes on it. Wander inside protein structures and be surrounded by their atoms.
MoleculE VR is a virtual reality tour introducing some of the basic concepts about cell communication and signalling: how cells receive and respond to messages from their environment, interact with other cells and coordinate their biological processes.
Discover some of the actors involved in cell signalling: the adenosine A2A receptor, corticotropin releasing hormone receptor CRF1, the glucagon receptor and the metabotropic glutamate 5 (mGlu5) receptor. Enjoy moving around the protein structures, to observe how these receptors interact with their natural ligands and small molecules like drugs to affect their functions and the ultimate cell response.
In MoleculE VR, real crystallographic data from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) turns into 3-D virtual structures and takes Molecular Modelling Science to the next level.
Some of the structures presented in this app have been solved by world-leading scientists at Heptares Therapeutics Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Sosei Group Corporation). This detailed structural information is enabling the design of new medicines targeting important receptors for the treatment of pathologies including cancer and certain neurological diseases.

The app includes 5 chapters:
1- An introduction to cell communication
2- The adenosine A2A receptor
3- The corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRF1)
4- The glucagon receptor
5- The metabotropic glutamate 5 (mGlu5) receptor

MoleculE VR is an innovative educational tool that aims to support and integrate classic teaching and learning methods. It expresses complex concepts of Biology and Medicinal Chemistry, in a visual and interactive format. Moreover, this scientific visualisation app enhances mnemonic techniques and the kinesthetic experience stimulating learning skills. The VR exploration boosts motivation and engagement, key factors to make eLearning fun.

Original graphic design and easy-to-navigate interface:
- Home button (look up to see it) to go back to the menu screen
- Text on/off to enable/disable captions
- Voice on/off to enable/disable the narration
- Slow and play buttons

Please note that MoleculE VR is a Virtual Reality app for phones requiring gyroscope and a VR headset like Google Cardboard. If your phone does not work with this app or you have problems, please contact us.

For a better experience please play standing or seated on a swivel chair to enjoy a 360 degree experience.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★The audio track doesn't sound good and the voice acting is terrible
2 ★I like the idea, but the app lacks in the execution: on a Galaxy Note 4 the frame rate is appalling (sometimes below 3 fps, inducing dizziness and headache), and the captions dispute your attention with the animations (you have to chose one over the other). The pace is slow and you can't advance, rewind or control the speed of animations.
5 ★Excellent example of what and how Google Cardboard can be used to create learning content that simply cannot be experienced in such an immersive way. And a genuinely useful learning product for understanding some aspects of cell biology. Interested in e-learning, ...take a look!
5 ★An amazing and clever app which takes you on a 3d journey through the cell and signalling pathways. Highly recommended.
