We spent so long in BCHM studying Bacteriorhodopsin that it was the first to pop into my head. It's fab though. This is the of Bacteriorhodopsin.

This is a Sandbox page that you can use for creating our discussion project.

I would like for you to watch the short training videos. Each is short and you can view them all in about 40 mins. These provide the basic knowledge you will need to our discussion sections.

I need you to get some basic familiarity with this package so you will be able to help students.

Our first three discussions will focus on 'structure'. Structure of DNA, proteins, and RNA.

The students will work in 2 person teams and will create a Proteopedia page on their assigned molecule and will be asked to research their molecule and create 'scenes' which are representations of the molecule that illustrates some key features.

There will be a work sheet the students will follow to help them through the project.

One of the objectives is to have the students manipulate structures to appreciate the 3 dimensional nature of the molecules we are discussing and to begin to help them conceptualize how these molecule might interact etc.
