Deconstruct Exemplar
Open this example in Notability.
Highlight and label where the example describes:

• Structure
• Function
• Key Players
• Structure Function Argument
• Diseases or other factors that affect the protein function
• What does each picture show?

Project Research
Some Resources

• Proteopedia - this is a wiki page so it's not technically a reliable web source but it might help you understand your protein better
• Protein Structures - to get an idea of size and shapes of different types of proteins
• What is a protein video - talks about how the structure connects to the function of different proteins
• The Role of the Active Site - talks about how active/binding sites work

The Role of the Active Site - This is a reading. Open in your preferred app for annotation (Notability or Google Docs)

Warmup

Log in to Socrative.

How do we smell?

Watch TedEd video “How do we smell?”

In your journal, write a hypothesis for the question: How do our olfactory receptors distinguish between different smells?
Read “The Role of the Active Site” and revise your hypothesis.

Model Olfactory Receptors
1. Work in pairs to create a model of olfactory receptors that meet the shape and chemical property requirements of the provided “smell molecules” (puzzle pieces).
2. Using your model, create a stop motion video to explain how the olfactory receptors work using the terms: functional groups, receptor, active site, chemical properties (of amino acid R-group).

Protein Folding

Goal:

Model how the intermolecular forces between amino acids cause proteins to fold in predictable shapes. Hypothesize how the structure of the folded protein might contribute to its function.

Agenda:
Warmup
ACT Reading
Protein Folding Activity
Revised CER

Warmup
Create a new journal entry entitled "Protein Folding."
Copy down WHAT we are learning today.
Write a CER to answer the question: What structural features of a polypeptide most contribute to protein folding? Explain.

ACT Reading
Read and answer the questions to this ACT practice passage.

Protein Folding Activity
Follow the directions in this document to complete the protein folding activity. Then answer the following questions in your science journal:

1. Take a picture of your folded protein and explain how you arrived at this shape.  Use the words secondary and tertiary and include a discussion of R-group properties (such as charge etc.)
2. What step needs to occur next before the protein can be considered “complete”?
3. Imagine for a moment your protein has a “job.”  Be creative and explain how it’s shape might help it do it’s job.  Refer back to the 9 types of proteins  for ideas.

Revised CER
Use what you learned in the protein folding activity and the ACT reading to revise your CER from the beginning of class.
