Harnessing Single-Stranded DNA Binding Protein to Explore Protein-Protein and Protein-DNA Interactions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chen, Stefanie H.; Goller, Carlos C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Proteins must interact with a variety of other cellular components to properly perform their functions. We have developed a series of five experiments based on the robust bacterial single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) to characterize both known and unknown protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. Students work in groups to generate and…

Matza-Porges, Sigal; Nathan, Dafna – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
Medical, industrial, and basic research relies heavily on the use of viruses and vectors. Therefore, it is important that bioscience undergraduates learn the practicalities of handling viruses. Teaching practical virology in a student laboratory setup presents safety challenges, however. The aim of this article is to describe the design and…

Ameri, Arefeh; Khajouei, Reza; Ameri, Alieh; Jahani, Yunes – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Currently, traditional paper methods may not effectively be used in education due to lack of access, outdated content, and poor graphics. Education through mobile-based applications is one of the alternative solutions. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate LabSafety educational application and its effect on promoting the…

Designing Laboratory Exercises for the Undergraduate Molecular Biology/Biochemistry Student: Techniques and Ethical Implications Involved in Personalized Medicine
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Weinlander, Kenneth M.; Hall, David J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2010
Personalized medicine refers to medical care that involves genetically screening patients for their likelihood to develop various disorders. Commercial genome screening only involves identifying a consumer's genotype for a few single nucleotide polymorphisms. A phenotype (such as an illness) is greatly influenced by three factors: genes, gene…

A Simple Way to Visualize Fibrinolysis in the Classroom
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nurachman, Zeily; Hermawan, Jatnika; Rachmayanti, Yanti; Baradja, Lubna – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2003
Laboratory demonstration, as well as biochemistry lecture, has been used to complement explanation of biochemical processes. The laboratory demonstration is very useful in teaching biochemistry to students who lack background in biology. The experimental model of fibrinolysis described here presents a complex biological reaction in simplified…

Loureiro, Natalia I. V.; Viana, Henrique V.; Rodrigues, Carlos R.; Cabral, Lucio Mendes; Silva, Thais D. N.; Cardoso, Fernanda Serpa; Santos, Dilvani Oliveira; Castro, Helena C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2004
Changes are occurring within Brazilian institutes of higher education; currently several universities are reviewing their course offerings and teaching approaches to determine if they meet the needs of today's undergraduate students. When changes are made to the curriculum of experimental courses, there should be an understood guarantee that all…
