Instructions of Augmented Reality (AR) App

 

1. Download and install the mobile app named “ATP Synthase [AR]” into your cell phone. Proceed with the installation steps according to the installation procedures shown on the screen.

 

2. Click this icon               to open the mobile app and log-in to the control panel with the following information:

Username: cuhk

Password: user

 

3. The camera of your cell phone will be activated after successfully logging into the control panel. Face the rear camera toward the 2-D image of the molecule [note]. The 3-D animation of the molecule will be popped-up on the screen. The molecule can be inspected from different angles by adjusting the image layout via the touch-screen of your mobile cell phone.

 

Note Download the JPG picture of the molecule (ATP synthase) by clicking the following website link. Open to display the picture on computer screen or print out the picture on a white paper card.

 

4. The animation can be replayed by clicking the “Restart” button on the top right-hand corner of the screen.

 

5. To inspect the molecular structure of ATP synthase, click the “Ribbon View” on the top left-hand corner of the screen. A 3-D image of the molecule presented in ribbon format will be generated. The image can be enlarged or rotated via the touch-screen.

 

Learning objectives of the mobile app

 

1. Concentration gradient of proton ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane as the driving force for the synthesis ATP.

 

2. Function and mechanisms of ATP synthase.
