An in silico DNA cloning experiment for the biochemistry laboratory
Authors: Elkins Kelly M. 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThis laboratory exercise introduces students to concepts in recombinant DNA technology while accommodating a major semester project in protein purification, structure, and function in a biochemistry laboratory for junior‐ and senior‐level undergraduate students. It is also suitable for forensic science courses focused in DNA biology and advanced high school biology classes. Students begin by examining a plasmid map with the goal of identifying which restriction enzymes may be used to clone a piece of foreign DNA containing a gene of interest into the vector. From the National Center for Biotechnology Initiative website, students are instructed to retrieve a protein sequence and use Expasy's Reverse Translate program to reverse translate the protein to cDNA. Students then use Integrated DNA Technologies' OligoAnalyzer to predict the complementary DNA strand and obtain DNA recognition sequences for the desired restriction enzymes from New England Biolabs' website. Students add the appropriate DNA restriction sequences to the double‐stranded foreign DNA for cloning into the plasmid and infecting Escherichia coli cells. Students are introduced to computational biology tools, molecular biology terminology and the process of DNA cloning in this valuable single session, in silico experiment. This project develops students' understanding of the cloning process as a whole and contrasts with other laboratory and internship experiences in which the students may be involved in only a piece of the cloning process/techniques. Students interested in pursuing postgraduate study and research or employment in an academic biochemistry or molecular biology laboratory or industry will benefit most from this experience.

Differentiating biochemistry course laboratories based on student experience
Authors: Jakubowski Henry V. 
Published: June 2011

AbstractContent and emphases in undergraduate biochemistry courses can be readily tailored to accommodate the standards of the department in which they are housed, as well as the backgrounds of the students in the courses. A more challenging issue is how to construct laboratory experiences for a class with both chemistry majors, who usually have little or no experience with biochemical techniques and biology and biochemistry majors who do. This manuscript describes a strategy for differentiating biochemistry labs to meet the needs of students with differing backgrounds.

The turn of the screw: An exercise in protein secondary structure
Authors: Pikaart Michael 
Published: June 2011

AbstractAn exercise using simple paper strips to illustrate protein helical and sheet secondary structures is presented. Drawing on the rich historical context of the use of physical models in protein biochemistry by early practitioners, in particular Linus Pauling, the purpose of this activity is to cultivate in students a hands‐on, intuitive sense of protein secondary structure and to complement the common computer‐based structural portrayals often used in teaching biochemistry. As students fold these paper strips into model secondary structures, they will better grasp how intramolecular hydrogen bonds form in the folding of a polypeptide into secondary structure, and how these hydrogen bonds direct the overall shape of helical and sheet structures, including the handedness of the α‐helix and the difference between right‐ and the left‐handed twist.

Bridging the educational research‐teaching practice gap: Curriculum development, Part 2: Becoming an agent of change
Authors: Rogan John M. , Anderson Trevor R. 
Published: June 2011

AbstractMany faculty members in science departments are experiencing pressure to improve their courses, particularly with respect to the ways in which students are taught and assessed. The purpose of this article is to provide some insights and practical ideas on how curriculum change can be brought about—how motivated individuals can become agents of change. Change almost always elicits opposing and supporting forces, examples of which are given. Finally, we discuss examples of strategies to deal with these forces and highlight various factors that need to be considered when implementing such strategies, including the concepts of a zone of feasible innovation, the zone of tolerance, and the development of communities of practice.

BZK.SAU.FPGA10.1: A modular approach to FPGA‐based micro computer architecture design for educational purpose
Authors: Oztekin Halit , Temurtas Feyzullah , Gulbag Ali 
Published: June 2011

ABSTRACTThis article describes a modular approach to FPGA‐based micro computer architecture design for supporting undergraduate courses in computer science and related discipline. We have adopted the modular approach to the second FPGA version of the BZK.SAU[6] named BZK.SAU.FPGA10.1. The BZK.SAU.FPGA10.1 platform has modular units that enable development of their own micro computer designs, particularly arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), memory and system bus, by integrating of simple building blocks. So the proposed modular approach will create high level interest in the faculty teaching computer organization and architecture course and produce significant contribution in the education of engineers. Also, such an approach could greatly increase the understanding of the architectural concept of the Microcomputer Architecture. All the modules in the BZK.SAU.FPGA10.1 design are entirely realized using schematic structure on Altera's Cyclone II Development board. So, students can implement on a hardware platform to test their own designs by downloading since it is an affordable cost for the institution. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Boron Compounds as Stabilizers of a Complex Microstructure in a Co‐B‐based Catalyst for NaBH4 Hydrolysis
Authors: Arzac G. M. , Rojas T. C. , Fernández A. 
Published: June 2011

AbstractCo⋅B‐based materials are widely used as catalysts for hydrogen generation through sodium borohydride self‐decomposition. In the mid 1990 s, the aqueous and organic chemistry involved in Co⋅B synthesis and handling was studied. Nevertheless, the exact microstructure of these catalysts has remained unsolved. Herein we present an exhaustive study which shows a new and complete microstructural view of a Co⋅B‐based material together with the chemistry of the cobalt and boron involved. By using nanoscale‐resolution microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, we have elucidated the role of boron compounds as stabilizers in a complex microstructure, which also explains its high catalytic performance and long‐term stability. The catalyst is proposed to be made up of 1–3 nm hcp Co0 nanoparticles embedded in amorphous CoxB (x=1, 2, 3), CoxOy, Co(BO2)2, and B2O3 phases alternatively or all together. All of these amorphous phases protect the nanocrystalline metallic core from growth and oxidation.
