Studio talk:ProteopediaChapter2018

From Proteopedia

New Horizons in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education conference

A book we would like to put together on the topic of the conference

200 words abstract

Each chapter approximately 5,000 words.

It is not meant to be a conference proceedings type of book, but rather a comprehensive collection of the current knowledge about means to teach biochemistry and molecular biology. This can include novel ideas, recommendations, strategies and if possible research that attempted to examine these various means in practice. The chapter should not be necessarily aligned with your specific workshop / presentation at the conference.

Assorted ideas and bits:

Proteopedia: Interactive tool to communicate biomolecular concepts in 3D

Enlightening macromolecular structure-function relationship with Proteopedia

- Proteopedia on teaching and page creation.

- pioneering the online publishing of complements and papers with author selected words to help non-expert to understand the meaning.

- student projects

- quizzes

Get your students excited about proteins:

Engage your students into protein structure by telling a story.

1. Pick one interesting protein

2. Tell them what does the protein do (function)

3. What happens when it fails? (disease)

4. Are there any remedies? (drugs)

Now, get into the details:

5. Describe how does it happen? (structure)

6. Look at the structure(s), how it functions, where does the drug interact

- Use ready pages as material to support your lecture. http://proteopedia.org/w/Teaching_Strategies_Using_Proteopedia

- Create new pages with material to support your lecture. http://proteopedia.org/w/Proteopedia:Video_Guide

- Guide your students to create projects on Proteopedia: Suggest scientific questions where protein structure is known to play a role. Let the students search for information, study the topic (possibly find a graduate student to help as a Mentor). Ask your students to summarize the findings and conclusion by creating interactive Proteopedia page. Finally have your students present it to the whole class (instead of using Powerpoint).
