This extremely challenging content is easily explained in the OCR Biology A level Sliding Filament Theory Booklet It includes : Skeletal muscle Histology The structure of the myofibril The structure of a sarcomere How the muscle contracts -sliding filament theory How contractions change the pattern of banding Maintenance of ATP

Having learned about this in my Biochemistry degree. It has now been included in the OCR A level Biology A H420 Syllabus as a kind of introduction into cellular control. Having taught this for several years I have had to make my own resource as there is very little material out on it that is relevant to A level students and the textbooks don’t explain the Biochemistry fully. The resource is a Booklet gap fill with diagrams and the teacher telling them all about the various different mechanisms that control gene expression in organisms. It covers -Gene regulation-Transcriptional control : chromatin remodelling/Histone modification / Lac operon/cAMP-Post-Transcriptional control: RNA Processing /RNA editing-Translational control : protein kinases/inhibitory proteins/inititaion factors-Post-Translational control : phosphates/amino acid modification/folding proteins/cAMP modification

This power-point can go with the Booklet or on its own. It covers a whole lesson on the mechanisms that control gene expression in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. These include Transcription control e.g Chromatin remodelling and histone modifcation Post -transcriptional control e.g RNA processing and editing Translational control e.g Inhibitory proteins and initiation factors Post -translational control e.g phosphate groups and protein shortening
