Application of molecular simulation in teaching of Medical Immunology
Objective:To change the current situation that immune molecules presented only by schematic diagram or static model in the textbook of Medical Immunology,and to present the specific and vivid molecular morphology and functions to students.And set up corresponding elective course to let students personally explore the structure and function of immune molecules.Methods:On one hand,the teaching team applied the molecular simulation technology of scientific research to the production of teaching materi-als for the specific morphology,structural characteristics and functions of immune molecules,which were used in the teaching of medi-cal immunology for medical undergraduates majoring in clinical,oral and preventive medicine.On the other hand,a related elective course research on the love of molecule was opened to give students the opportunity to operate relevant software by themselves and learn the structure and function of immune molecules.Results:The application of molecular simulation in teaching improved teachers'teaching ability,strengthened teachers'immunology knowledge,enhanced the interaction between teachers and students,and achieved good teaching results.Conclusion:It is feasible to apply molecular simulation technology to medical immunology teaching for undergraduates,which can improve the teaching quality.
