I. Basic Information

A. Your name 

B. What do you need? I would like to have a feel of who everyone is and where they stand. I certainly don't. Could you help me out by giving me a summary of where you are regarding what has happened thus far in the semester and what you feel you need to make this a useful experience for you?

A. Do you understand how information passes from DNA through RNA to protein? (at the level set in the reading)  Select  Yes  No 

B. Can imagine a biological system that displays a degree of complexity suggested in the reading?  Select  Yes  No 

C. Do you see (at the level set in the reading) how genes might determine the function of an organism?  Select  Yes  No 

D. Do you understand how amphipathic lipids can self-assemble into the sphere shown in Fig. 3B?  Select  Yes  No 

E. Do you understand the relationship between monomers and the four major types of biological polymers?  Select  Yes  No 

F. Do you see in general how enzymes might determine the nature of a cell?  Select  Yes  No 

G. Choose up to two study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ1 SQ2 SQ3 SQ4 SQ5 SQ6

Comments for questions II.A through II.F:

A. Do you understand what an amino acid is and how they differ from one another?  Select  Yes  No 

B. Do you understand how amino acids are joined to form proteins?  Select  Yes  No 

C. Do you understand in general how the sequence of amino acids of a protein contribute to its ultimate three-dimensional shape?  Select  Yes  No 

D. Do you understand the distinction between primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins?  Select  Yes  No 

E. Do you understand how the entire three-dimensional structure participates in forming the critical active site of chymotrypsin?  Select  Yes  No 

F. Do you understand two ways in which hydrophobic amino acids can direct a protein to sit in a membrane?  Select  Yes  No 

G. Do you see how a greater ability to predict protein function from its primary structure would change the world we live in?  Select  Yes  No 

H. Do you see what all of this has to do with bioinformatics?  Select  Yes  No 

I. Choose up to three study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ8 SQ9 SQ10 SQ11 SQ12 SQ13 SQ14
