Sim 'virus' or Sim 'bug' - that would be really great!
How about a 'first person perspective' view of protein structure? Take
Doom / Quake and map the floor of the game onto the surface of your
favorite structure. Then you could explore the active site 'on foot' and
carry a ligand into the receptor to get to level 2. (Watch out for the
slippery hydrophobic cluster!)
