Alison Bates; Kathryn M. Williams; Ann E. Hagerman – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
We created a novel laboratory experience where undergraduate students explore the techniques used to study protein misfolding, unfolding, and aggregation. Despite the importance of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, protein unfolding is not typically explored in undergraduate biochemistry laboratory classes. Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase…

Candela, Maria Fernanda; Arenas, Nelson E.; Caicedo, Obradith; Malagon, Andres – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The inhibition of porcine pancreatic lipase by the drug orlistat was studied through a series of activities that combine experimental and computational procedures. The enzymatic activity of the lipase was determined by measuring enzyme kinetics and calculating parameters such as K[subscript m] and V[subscript max] from experimental data. Assays of…

Metabolic Control Analysis (MCA) is a systems biology approach that measures the control of a metabolic step on the overall flux of a metabolic pathway. In undergraduate courses in biochemistry, learning of MCA can be encouraged by experimental activities demonstrating practical applications of the MCA theory. In this work, we present a laboratory…

Thaveesangsakulthai, Isaya; Kulsing, Chadin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Optimization of experimental conditions in chromatography is recognized as a wear-and-tear process involving hundreds of experiments in order to maximize the number of separated compounds for each sample. The critical thinking skills and practices entailed cannot be achieved with students in a conventional lecture class. This report provides a…

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…

Vuppala, Laxmi Sinduri; Vazquez, Timothy; Nguyen, Ding; Knowlton, Maverick; Smith, Emily; Evan-Nguyen, Theresa – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Exposure to real-life applications of quantitative analysis techniques based on two gas chromatography (GC) experiments was provided to a large cohort of sophomore-level students. In one experiment, students assessed blood alcohol content by internal standardization using a homemade headspace system similar to methods implemented in forensic…

Muhammad Saefi; Widi Cahya Adi; Amining Rahmasiwi; Hidayati Maghfiroh; M. Eval Setiawan; Miza Nina Adlini; Syarif Rizalia – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2023
Laboratory course activities often focus on "cookbook style," so their activities have not yet integrated with scientific thinking as an essential aspect. In this research, the laboratory experience of microbial analysis techniques was redesigned using alternative inquiry to involve students in isolating and characterising yeast to make…

Angelani, Carla R.; Carabias, Pablo; Cruz, Karen M.; Delfino, José M.; Sautu, Marilina; Espelt, María V.; Ferreira-Gomes, Mariela S.; Gómez, Gabriela E.; Mangialavori, Irene C.; Manzi, Malena; Pignataro, María F.; Saffioti, Nicolás A.; Salvatierra Fréchou, Damiana M.; Santos, Javier; Schwarzbaum, Pablo J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Metabolic control analysis (MCA) is a promising approach in biochemistry aimed at understanding processes in a quantitative fashion. Here the contribution of enzymes and transporters to the control of a given pathway flux and metabolite concentrations is determined and expressed quantitatively by means of numerical coefficients. Metabolic flux can…

Ortiz Lechuga, Eugenia Guadalupe; Tovar Herrera, Omar Eduardo; Arévalo Niño, Katiushka – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
In this work, we present the results of an undergrad student from the perspective of its first approach as a principal researcher in a project. In order to gain practical experience, one of the options for students that have interest in pursuing a postgraduate program corresponds to a research stay in a laboratory of their selected field…

Nagma Zerin – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
Project-Enhanced learning is an excellent way to facilitate student-centered learning along with traditional lecture-based learning. In this Class and Home problem, an example of Project-Enhanced learning is provided that can be used in the Mass and Energy Balances (MEB) course. The students solve this problem as part of a group while receiving…
