Toscanini, MariaA.; Recoulat Angelini, Alvaro A.; Troncoso, Maria F.; Curto, Lucrecia M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Understanding the relationship between protein structure and function can be challenging for students. Molecular visualization software aids students in this problem by allowing manipulation of structures from new and deeper perspectives. In this communication, an activity using iMolview Lite, structure visualization software for portable devices,…

Šarac, Bojan; Hadži, San – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A Microsoft Excel workbook has been developed to simplify the quantitative analysis of experimentally measured titration curves for diprotic and triprotic amino acids such as glycine, arginine, histidine, and glutamate. Students perform the titration, enter the data into the worksheet, and manually adjust the resulting pK[subscript a] values to…

Vater, Ashley; Mayoral, Jaime; Nunez-Castilla, Janelle; Labonte, Jason W.; Briggs, Laura A.; Gray, Jeffrey J.; Makarevitch, Irina; Rumjahn, Sharif M.; Siegel, Justin B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Including undergraduate research in STEM education is a well-supported and growing high-impact practice that has been made much more scalable through integrating these experiences into the classroom. Here we describe a new biochemistry Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) that follows a design-to-data workflow with a strong…

Zorrilla, David; Sánchez-Márquez, Jesús; García, Víctor; Fernández, Manuel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Teaching and understanding the concepts related to ideal gases and their transformations is relatively uncomplicated. However, for science and engineering students, reaching an understanding of and assimilating the concepts related to real gases and their transformations is a more difficult goal. Backed by their considerable experience teaching…

Miller, Tierney C.; Richardson, John N.; Kegerreis, Jeb S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
This manuscript presents an exercise that utilizes mathematical software to explore Fourier transforms in the context of model quantum mechanical systems, thus providing a deeper mathematical understanding of relevant information often introduced and treated as a "black-box" in analytical chemistry courses. The exercise is given to…

Woelk, Klaus – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
Clickers are electronic response devices with which a student can remotely submit responses to questions or problems posed by a teacher. The problems are typically true-false or multiple-choice questions, but can also include numerical problems. Clicker devices are particularly popular in large-enrollment introductory science, technology,…
