Abstract
This paper proposes to teach students biology through dance. Knowledge of nucleotides, amino acids, and structures of DNA and protein is used to create dance music and choreography. The three nucleotides (A, T, G, or C) making up the amino acids of selected proteins are converted into a musical note. In accordance with DNA’s double helix structure and base-pairing, the authors designed a low-cost, in-house Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) machine to allow for a dual player dance mode that requires students to synchronize their choreography during gameplay.
本文建议通过舞蹈向学生传授生物学知识。利用核苷酸、氨基酸以及 DNA 和蛋白质结构的知识来创作舞蹈音乐和舞蹈编排。构成选定蛋白质氨基酸的三个核苷酸（A、T、G 或 C）被转换成音符。根据 DNA 的双螺旋结构和碱基配对，作者设计了一种低成本的内部舞蹈革命（DDR）机，允许双人舞蹈模式，要求学生在游戏过程中同步编排舞蹈。
期刊介绍：
Leonardo was founded in 1968 in Paris by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina. Malina saw the need for a journal that would serve as an international channel of communication between artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Today, Leonardo is the leading journal for readers interested in the application of contemporary science and technology to the arts.
