Key Points

This work aims to educate students about the structure and interactions of macromolecules.
Students engage in learning activities about repeating units in macromolecules.
Discussion of the chemical and physical relationships between composition and structure occurs.
Comparisons of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins and nucleic acids are made.
Students gain the ability to recognize structural elements in biological macromolecules.
Improved understanding of covalent and noncovalent interactions in macromolecular structure is achieved.
Students can effectively compare various structural levels of proteins and nucleic acids.

Abstract

ASBMB Learning Objectives (https://www.asbmb.org/education/core-concept-teaching-strategies/foundational-concepts/structure-function) 2. Structure is determined by several factors Students should be able to recognize the repeating units in biological macromolecules and be able to discuss the structural impacts of the covalent and noncovalent interactions involved (Introductory). Students should be able to discuss the chemical and physical relationships between composition and structure of macromolecules (Introductory). Students should be able to compare and contrast the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins and nucleic acids (Intermediate).
