Center for Game Science: Fold It
A game where students put amino acids together to form a protein. Students will also try to predict how that protein will fold. Since the function of a protein depends a lot on the structure, this game can help students understand the...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Overview of Translation
Find out how the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA is translated into the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide (protein).
Genome British Columbia
Genome British Columbia: Dna Code Bracelet
For this activity, students create a bracelet of beads using DNA code. Each letter represents an amino acid and is three beads. The authors suggest that even younger students would enjoy this activity, although older students will...
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Building a Protein
This hands-on activity is an assessment of the students understanding of peptide and disulfide bonds formed during protein synthesis, and the structure of an amino acid (R-group plus the common structure that all amino acids share)....
Science Buddies
Science Buddies: Solubility of Proteins
Some proteins are soluble in aqueous solutions and some are not. Insoluble proteins can be a problem because the proteins can form large aggregates in solution which are difficult to purify, crystallize, and use in experiments. Compare...
