LEADME ( Laminate Analysis and Design Made Easy ), an educational software useful for the analysis and design of laminated composite structure has been developed. The software encompasses both the micro and macro mechanics analysis of lamina and laminate. The highlight of this software is that, apart from usual laminate analysis, the software is capable to solve practical laminate applications such as analysis of beams and also a design module is included. The software has been developed using MATLAB-Graphical User Interface (GUI) which makes it very user friendly. The results obtained from this software have been validated. It is expected that this software will serve as an educational tool complementing textbooks for students to gain better understanding of composite structural analysis.

Abstract DNAproDB (https://dnaprodb.usc.edu) is a web-based database and structural analysis tool that offers a combination of data visualization, data processing and search functionality that improves the speed and ease with which researchers can analyze, access and visualize structural data of DNA–protein complexes. In this paper, we report significant improvements made to DNAproDB since its initial release. DNAproDB now supports any DNA secondary structure from typical B-form DNA to single-stranded DNA to G-quadruplexes. We have updated the structure of our data files to support complex DNA conformations, multiple DNA–protein complexes within a DNAproDB entry and model indexing for analysis of ensemble data. Support for chemically modified residues and nucleotides has been significantly improved along with the addition of new structural features, improved structural moiety assignment and use of more sequence-based annotations. We have redesigned our report pages and search forms to support these enhancements, and the DNAproDB website has been improved to be more responsive and user-friendly. DNAproDB is now integrated with the Nucleic Acid Database, and we have increased our coverage of available Protein Data Bank entries. Our database now contains 95% of all available DNA–protein complexes, making our tools for analysis of these structures accessible to a broad community.

The Relationship

Working on active learning strategies for web based courses, the Biochemical Education Research groupfrom USP and Unicamp;s departments of Biochemistry has developed the educational software Obesity:the new metabolic frontier. The software was designed to be used as a major reference to study thissubject on 2003 Biochemistry of Nutrition course, and was based on the most recent publications aboutobesity, specially concerning the leptin role in this metabolic disturb. The most relevant characteristicof this software is the use of animated models to represent the cellular response and the presentationof many other mechanisms involved in obesity. We also intended to focus the relationship betweenleptin and other mechanisms that lead to obesity. The teaching strategy consisted in providing thestudents with the software and a text about Obesity. After few days, they should discuss the topic ina two-hour synchronous discussions chat-rooms (specially designed for this purpose), with a TeachingAssistant;s (TA) help. After the discussion, the students were asked to answer an evaluation surveyabout the activity and the software ecience to the learning process. The TAs were asked to evaluatethe software as a tool to help in teaching process. In the following week the students had to go backto the chat-rooms for an online synchronous test. The results of this experience (students and TAssatisfaction) were very clear and stimulated us to go on with software development and to improvethe use of this kind of educational tool in Biochemistry classes.
