Understanding metabolism and metabolic pathways constitutes one of the central aims for students of biological sciences. Learning metabolic pathways should be focused on the understanding of general concepts and core principles. New technologies such Augmented Reality (AR) have shown potential to improve assimilation of biochemistry abstract concepts because students can manipulate 3D molecules in real time. Here we describe an application named Augmented Reality Metabolic Pathways (ARMET), which allowed students to visualize the 3D molecular structure of substrates and products, thus perceiving changes in each molecule. The structural modification of molecules shows students the flow and exchange of compounds and energy through metabolism. © 2017 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 45(5):417-420, 2017.
理解新陈代谢和代谢途径是生物科学专业学生的核心目标之一。学习代谢途径应着重于对一般概念和核心原理的理解。诸如增强现实（AR）等新技术已显示出改善生物化学抽象概念吸收的潜力，因为学生能够实时操纵3D分子。在此，我们描述了一个名为增强现实代谢途径（ARMET）的应用程序，它使学生能够可视化底物和产物的3D分子结构，从而感知每个分子的变化。分子的结构修饰向学生展示了化合物和能量在新陈代谢中的流动和交换。© 2017年，国际生物化学与分子生物学联盟，45(5):417 - 420，2017。
