Year 12 Protein Chemistry

PROTEIN CHEMISTRY

Explore the primary, secondary and tertiary structures of proteins along with the formation of zwitterions and the role of functional groups.

They will then head to the lab for an investigation of antibiotic-resistant proteins. Using their chemical calculation skills and an electrolytic cell, students will carry out protein electrophoresis. Replicating the process research scientists use, students will apply their analytical skills to search the Protein Data Bank for key information about their sample. Using this information, students will then modify the structure of the protein to see if they can transform it into a more effective antibiotic.

This booklet contains information about bus parking, payment and pricing, cancellations, evacuation maps, and more.
