Bolduc, Kathryn C.; McCollough, Shannon L.; Stoeckman, Angela K. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Undergraduate laboratory courses are vital for both enhancing student learning and preparing students for their future careers. Despite their importance, laboratory courses are often met with a lack of enthusiasm from students. For pre-health students specifically, laboratory courses are commonly seen as part of a check-list that needs to be…

Van Wieren, Arie; Colen, Philip; Majumdar, Sudipta – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
An understanding of structure-function relationships in proteins is essential for modern biochemical studies. The integration of common freely accessible bioinformatics tools available online with the knowledge of protein-engineering tools provide a fundamental understanding of the application of protein structure-function for biochemical…

Samanta Hernández-García; M. Alejandra Guerrero-Rubio; Paula Henarejos-Escudero; Pedro Martínez-Rodríguez; Fernando Gandía-Herrero – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Alcohol consumption has profound effects on behavior, such as impaired judgment, addiction or even death. It is estimated that alcohol contributes to around three million deaths worldwide, 13.5% of them in young people with ages between 20 and 39 years. Consequently, it is necessary to raise awareness among college and high school students of the…

Pengfei Li; Boya Zhang; Shuaifei He; Yuqing Lu; Wenli Jiang; Qingsong Zhong; Shu Quan; Haizhen Wu; Mian Zhou – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Both lecture and laboratory courses of biochemistry are important professional courses for undergraduates with biology related majors. Course optimization and update is crucial but challenging, especially for the laboratory course. Although taught separately, here we showed a strategy to bridge the two courses and promote the improvement of both.…

Alexandra Taraboletti – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In response to the shifting modalities of laboratory-based education, particularly amidst the rise of virtual and at-home instruction, we introduce a novel hybrid laboratory module for undergraduate biochemistry and biology courses. Central to this innovative approach is the use of sourdough as a versatile and accessible model organism, enabling a…

Desa, Shakinaz; Zuhaidi, Nabel Darwish; Nordin, Nurhusna – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial for an introductory course in biochemistry to move from in-person instruction to total remote learning. There are four transferable skills in the course: problem-solving, laboratory psychomotor skills, data analysis and interpretation skills, and presentation skills. Since all lab buildings were…

Erasmus, Daniel J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Education in biochemistry teaching laboratories focus primarily on applying biochemical techniques to understanding human disease, biochemistry, and biotechnology. With anthropogenic climate change, there is a renewed interest in quantifying biodiversity, especially with the use of molecular-based approaches such as DNA barcoding. This 3-week…

Keira D. Naff; Jeri L. Tyler; Dima H. Hamza; Jonathan D. White – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Structure--activity relationships are foundational concepts in biochemistry and drug design. Despite their importance, it can be difficult to create and execute laboratory activities that allow students to directly observe the interactions between small-molecule drugs and their biomolecular targets. Here, we report an activity that investigates…

Guzmán, José Luis; Joseph, Babu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Virtual labs have proven to be very versatile and valuable for providing realistic experience for students in STE (Science, Technology, and Engineering) fields. As we progress from delivery of instructional material from classroom to the Internet, there is need to develop laboratory exercises to supplement the theoretical lessons. A Web-based…

Sharma, Kanika; Fizet, Kiel J.; Montgomery, Kathlyene R.; Smeltzer, Nathan A.; Sikorski, Madison H.; Brown, Kennedy G.; Beyke, Brandon J.; Burkhart, Ryan C.; Lynn, Abigail N.; Grandinetti, Giovanna – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The goal of this laboratory exercise is to give upper-level undergraduate students an introduction to sterile technique in mammalian cell culture and metabolism. The experiment can be completed within a 3-h lab period and can be performed either in conjunction with other biochemistry/metabolism experiments or used as a stand-alone experiment. In…

Simpson, Kevin; Jakubowski, Henry V. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are used widely in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and clinical medicine labs. At the same time, they appear to be underrepresented in chemistry and biochemistry curricula, even though their sensitivity, selectivity, and ease of use would argue for their widespread use. We describe here an online ELISA…

Katherine R. McCance; Ana Maria Topliceanu; Darlene Echeverria; Shana L. McAlexander; Margaret R. Blanchard; Richard A. Venditti – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
As e-commerce increases, the demand for packaging materials and the potential for generating waste and negative environmental impacts also rise. Packing peanuts are a type of plastic packaging material that are used to protect goods during the shipping process. Petroleum-based plastics are common packaging materials due to their low cost, light…

Keithley, Richard B.; Sullivan, Dylan T.; Dodd, John M., II; Iyer, Kavya V.; Sarisky, Catherine A.; Johann, Timothy W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Techniques and instrumentation that involve fluorescence are used in many careers related to biology and biochemistry. However, due to the expense of instrumentation, the theory and practice of fluorescence spectroscopy is commonly concentrated in instrumental analysis in most curricula, a class rarely required for biology and biochemistry majors.…

Simões, Manuel; Malcata, F. Xavier – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A laboratory experiment is described in which students carry out immobilization of the enzyme invertase via entrapment in alginate (Ca-alginate) and, accordingly, estimate values for kinetic constants and mass transfer coefficients. Immobilization of enzymes, or confinement thereof to a defined space with retention of most catalytic activity, is…
