1.7 Proteins (day 1)


 

Today's Learning Objective(s):

-      Describe the structure and function proteins

Tasks:

 

 

1

What is the 3D Structure of a Protein
You are to use the simulation to look at the structures with proteins.

 

Think about the answers to these questions:

·  How is the shape of proteins different than the other macromolecules?

·  What are the “parts” in the simulation?

·  What is the advantage of “beads” over “ball and stick atoms?”

Worksheet

5

Errors in Protein Folding

You and your team will be assigned a genetic disorder. Then, create a digital poster on a single slide (see template) or other poster format (such as Canva). The audience of the poster is a patient in a medical office. Your poster should help them to understand the cause and impact of their disease.
