• Learn and practice the molecular structures and biological features of over 40 carbohydrates.
• The app is divided into 3 parts: Introduction, learning unit, exercise unit.
• In the introduction you will learn basic information about the conformation of monosaccharides, carbohydrate detection methods and carbohydrate degradation.
• The following information is provided in the learning unit: monosaccharides, aldoses, ketoses, stereochemistry, disaccharides, polysaccharides, glycosylation and amino sugars.
• In the exercise unit the structures of the saccharides are arranged randomly and can be assigned to their name and/or a suitable property by drag and drop.
• You can change the selection of saccharides by selecting or deselecting the following classifications: Aldoses, ketoses, pentoses, hexoses, monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides.
• The correctness of the chosen arrangement, as well as the correct solution can be displayed at any time.
• The app assists you in learning related terms by assigning them.
• The operation is self-explanatory and intuitively understandable.
• The target group of the app are scientific, interested pupils and students of biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacy, biology and medicine.
Features
• Learn and practice the 2D structures, names and biological properties of important monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides.
• You can display the names and/or properties of the saccharides.
• The structures or names are arranged randomly. The assignment to the corresponding feature can be shuffled at any time or the correct assignment of the features can be displayed.
• The structural formulas can be enlarged by double tapping or long pressing, so that details can also be seen.
• No registration is required.
• No telemetry data are recorded!
