How else can Molecular Music be used?
This method of musical translation of 3-dimensional protein structure generates note sequences that sonically describe the visual features of the protein’s structure. This means that rather than simply looking at a protein and seeing structural features, you can hear them. Such note sequences may act as an auditory aid in perceiving and visualising protein structure. Humans have a keen ear for musical patterns and this method of translating structural data into musical form facilitates the recognition of those patterns. This is a different way of looking at protein structures which are normally represented by complex visual models or data sets. Because it is more accessible, it opens up the area of molecular biology to a larger range of people who perhaps would not have access to it. e.g. children and the visually impaired.
