Abstract
This paper presents the preliminary work into the creation of
an interactive spatial sonification system used to model the
interactions between drug molecules and their target
biomolecules within the human body. With the aid of
sonification and a 3D soundscape, the user is able to
optimize these interactions to a much greater precision than
the sole use of the current visual model. This system gives a
promising means to aid the rapid design of new drug
molecules that can interact more strongly with the enzyme’s
active site, therefore creating more effective drugs for the
treatment of cancer and other diseases. This paper gives a
full account of the relevant theory, the techniques used and
details of preliminary user testing.
