Structural Model Skepticism is one of twelve Overarching Themes in the Biomolecular Visualization (BioMolViz) Framework. The Framework identifies learning goals to assist in developing biomolecular visualization literacy. This work is part of BioMolViz Project, with additional information here.

Overarching Theme

Structural Model Skepticism (SK) ‐ Recognition of the limitations of models to describe the structure of macromolecules.

Learning Goals:

SK1. Students can critique the limitations of a structural model of a macromolecule.

SK2. Students can evaluate the quality of 3D models including features that are open to alternate interpretations based on molecular visualization and PDB flat files.

SK3. Students can discuss the value of experimentally altering a biomolecule to facilitate structure determination.
