Protein Folding and Shape
"Pipe Cleaner, Perms, and Mad Cows"
| Objectives of this Course
Component: |
|
The students are expected to understand
the four levels of
protein structure, construct models that simulate protein folding,
evaluate the accuracy of such models, understand why protein shape
is critical to the induced fit model of enzyme action, apply these
concepts to differing proteins, and relate how these concepts are
relevant to their lives. |
|
| Overall Time Frame: |
|
Approximately one, 50-minute class, plus 10-20 minutes
in the following class. |
|
| Prior Knowledge: |
|
Assigned readings on basic protein structure and enzyme
function, short lecture covering this information, or both.
The Course Component may work best if the students are familiar
with amino acids, peptide bonds, proteins, hydrogen bonding,
and enzyme actions. |
