In plain words

Nanome is a virtual reality application for visualizing, building, and simulating molecular structures including proteins, compounds, and nucleic acids. Designed for drug discovery research and chemistry education, it allows users to collaborate remotely in real-time while examining molecular properties. The platform uses immersive VR to help scientists better understand spatial and structural details of molecules.

From the sources

We are excited to announce that we have been collaborating with The Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) and have co-authored a paper that is being published in the Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling. The paper, titled “Development of a virtual reality platform for effective communication of structural data in drug discovery”, discusses how the immersive nature of virtual reality can help scientists better understand the nuances and features of molecular structures. The goal is to reduce the time required to thoroughly understand the spatial and structural properties of protein complexes and drug-target binding sites through more effective communication…from store.steampowered.com
