<p>Powerpoint for an hour long session to introduce and intrerest students in biochemistry.<br /> It details what a biochemistry degree entails and teaches about the basics of protein folding. There is an interactive task that gets students to fold wire into into primary, secondary and tertiary structures of a protein and explore what happens when their protein ‘denatures’.</p>

<p>This is a first introduction to biochemistry for a-level students with a hands on problem solving task.<br /> It includes:</p> <ul> <li>Comparison of biochemistry and biomedicine degrees</li> <li>Slides explaining meiosis and recombination</li> <li>A task on linkage analysis, the students must use what they have been taught about recombination and some data provided to work out the distance between two genes in map units</li> <li>The format of the biochemistry degree at Oxford is explained</li> </ul>
