Details

Proteins are essential machines of the cell! Join us in a phenomenon-based unit to explore the molecular modeling of insulin and related proteins. Teachers in this workshop will learn how to use molecular modeling software (Jmol) and classroom models to explore macromolecular structure and function. This unit can be used to review for the Keystone Biology exam, because it will cover the following topics: transcription, trans-lation, protein folding, post-translational modification, cell transport, cell signaling, metabolic disease, and biological macromolecules.
