Daniel A. Mak; Sebastian Dunn; David Coombes; Carlo R. Carere; Jane R. Allison; Volker Nock; André O. Hudson; Renwick C. J. Dobson – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Enzymes are nature's catalysts, mediating chemical processes in living systems. The study of enzyme function and mechanism includes defining the maximum catalytic rate and affinity for substrate/s (among other factors), referred to as enzyme kinetics. Enzyme kinetics is a staple of biochemistry curricula and other disciplines, from molecular and…

Bouck, Emily C.; Flanagan, Sara M. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2010
Research on the positive impact of using concrete manipulatives in mathematics for students with high-incidence disabilities is clear. Maccini and Gagnon (2000) considered manipulatives to be a best practice in terms of educating students with high-incidence disabilities in mathematics. It would follow, then, that research on virtual manipulatives…
