Protein Structure Investigation • The students will investigate protein structure (Problem Posing) by use of the Biology Workbench and NCBI. • They will get information from the NCBI web site about a protein they think might be representative of a particular organ system. • They will then gather the materials from that site to dissect the structure of their protein including a visual representation (Problem Solving).
Protein Structure Comparison • Either using the NCBI or Workbench sequences,they will use Workbench to do additional trees of representative proteins of a particular organ system • They will present their findings on the proteins in class.
Work in Progress • Adding activities from Comparative Genome site would be helpful, but time allowed only a start. • Although we have provided some ascension numbers for proteins, remember only genomic sequences work in this database (Find them at NCBL.).
