OnScreen DNA Lite is a software that enables educators to teach the fundamental aspects of DNA including its structure, composition, and chemical bonds.
Using OnScreen DNA Lite, students can become comfortable with the double helix structure of DNA, as well as the names of its component molecules and chemical bonds. Even base pairing, polarity, and right-handedness of the DNA strands are made clear with the help of the on-screen tutorial guides. The software also includes simulations of the lab phenomena of denaturation and renaturation.
OnScreen DNA Lite is excellent for teaching a wide range of concepts related to DNA, including the names of DNA's sugar phosphate, nucleotide bases, and the chemical bonds between them. It also covers how the nucleotides are connected to each other in the same strand and between strands, which bases pair with one another, and the opposite polarity and right-handedness of DNA strands. Additionally, users can learn the number of bases there are per helical turn, the major and minor grooves, and the physical basis for them. Finally, OnScreen DNA Lite covers how thermal agitation causes the two DNA strands to separate during denaturation and how complementary DNA strands reconstitute the double helix through base pairing during renaturation.
Overall, OnScreen DNA Lite is a perfect software tool for students who want to learn about DNA without feeling overwhelmed or bored. It is a fun and easy-to-use software package that is specifically designed to make learning about DNA easy, interactive and fun.
