Lesson 6: Proteins & Nucleic Acids
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Explain how the four levels of protein folding are stabilized by specific chemical bonds, and describe how the linear directionality and base-pairing rules of nucleic acids store genetic instructions.
Why does a change in the primary structure of a protein (a single amino acid substitution) sometimes completely destroy its tertiary structure, while other times it has no effect?
How does the antiparallel nature of DNA structure provide a mechanical advantage for accurate replication?
